1803 Question
Excited about getting a WG 1803. And stuck between two choices.
One is a blue satin dial, the bracelet is not original (but it is period correct) and same goes for the crown. The other is a black confetti dial on a strap. All original parts, but the dial would be inserted. As experienced collectors, what will hold its value more? Does any of this matter as long as the watch is is great shape overall? |

Dials and bracelets are switched all the time at vintage daydates. Buy the one you like most.

Questions of value are always impossible to answer just buy the one that you like the best and as mentioned you really need to post some pictures to get proper feedback

The confetti dials are amazing, I had one for a few years . But from afar they just look like matte black. So I personally would not pay a premium for another one.
In 1803 time frame it's very rare to find a blue dial that doesn't have lume burn and or degrade around the outer edges. So if the dial looks perfect , I would be careful, maybe a service dial. If so don't pay a premium for it. Pictures would help. Chris Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk |
