I don't know if this is allowed but I was hoping to get some insight from the pros.

I inherited an X serial two-tone Datejust with champagne tapestry dial from my father. It comes with all boxes, papers (which are open and undated), tags, polishing cloth, and service papers from 2006.

What would y'all value that at for sale and trade? Thanks for your help!

Chris

MonBK · 30 November 2010, 01:20 PM

Give or take $2,000

BarkMaster · 30 November 2010, 01:30 PM

Pics?

HKtoter · 30 November 2010, 01:31 PM

Kinda sounds like you are hunting for bids.

chrisshank · 30 November 2010, 01:34 PM

This is the only pic I have right now...

And no, I'm not "hunting for bids" Just trying to see what the actual experts would say my watch is worth. I don't even know if I want to sell or trade it, just curious.

Z06 · 30 November 2010, 01:41 PM

Nice watch...from someone that has kept his fathers (and grandfathers) watch, I would recommend you do the same. Not sure if it has any sentimental value yet...by I guarentee you, someday it will...Never give or trade away a fathers watch...never...(IMHO)

x100!! The value of your father's watch is Priceless, IMHO.....

HL65 · 30 November 2010, 01:46 PM

Exactly!!

BarkMaster · 30 November 2010, 01:49 PM

I have to agree with these guys. Keep it and love it. (it's a good looking combo!) Pass it on.

Randy9999 · 30 November 2010, 01:51 PM

Love the tapestry dial. Btw, is this watch a 16233? If yes, they're typically found from $3000 to $4000. Here's an illustrative chart of eBay sales for that very reference I prepared for another thread awhile back (yes, a chart, ahem):

A 20 year old 16233 for $3,000 to $4,000?

I'm sticking with my original price.

chrisshank · 30 November 2010, 02:10 PM

Regardless of the price...I've decided to keep it and work on trading my SD for a GMTIIc (SS)...

I would like to thank all the guys on here for virtually slapping me back into sanity. Sometimes we younger folk (age 23) forget what matters. Thanks again, all!

I don't think you had forgotten what matters as you said your were not hunting for bids. Just hoping to get an idea. Nothing wrong there. If you find yourself still wondering take your watch for an appraisal. Good Luck

Sose · 30 November 2010, 10:29 PM

Way to go. Keep it.

ed54 · 1 December 2010, 04:04 AM

A "buy it now" price has little relationship to actual sales, except it usually represents a watch that has been unsold for a long time. Since I looked at 16233 eBay offerings for a long time, I would say $2.5K to $3K depending on age, from a recognized dealer. I would also agree with the $2K price from a private seller.
Ed

slcbbrown · 1 December 2010, 04:42 AM

I would guess $3,000, based on the condition. I've got my father's 1950's TOG and wouldn't sell or trade for anything.

Wolfgang427 · 1 December 2010, 04:51 AM

$2k.

There are plenty of 20+ year old TT DJ's to choose from out there.

I agree w/everyone else, keep it.

harry in montreal · 1 December 2010, 05:55 AM

keep it. its a classic. give it to your children when they graduate high school. Harry

Chris,

I'd say the watch would be worth on the market, somewhere between $2200-2800.

You're SD is probably worth double... You'll need to bridge the gap between the SD and GMTIIC (SS), the watch in question combined with your SD should get you a new GMTIIC or a lightly used late model with $1000.00 in pocket...

What someone will pay for it.

Thanks, Paul -- those were the prices for asking prices whether sold or not, listings closed as of the date on that chart (9/23/2010). Clearly that criteria pushes the high side, but it does at least provide a snapshot of the average asking price of $3464.74.

Just for fun just now I looked at 18k/SS Rolex 16233 watches that sold (eBay.com, completed sales only as of tonight, 11/30/2010, both Buy It Now and regular auctions, with stated shipping prices added in where shipping was not free). The average selling price was about 17% below average asking at $2883.29.
