    Hello everyone,
    this is my first visit to this forum and english is not my first language so, please, sorry for my frequent mistakes ...
    I'd like to have some more info about a vintage piece my family left in a safe-deposit box for almost 50 years.
    The watch has never been worn, I don't know which model is it, I could only find the original box and the certificate that shows the following datas:
    Case 1682389
    Mechanism 1703105
    yellow gold 18kt
    sold by H. E. HOMBERGER - Schaffhausen - on February 14, 1967.
    Unfortunately actual times are not the best to use and show a wonderful watch like this one so I prefer to sell it and I'd like to know if anyone can help telling me which could be the correct value.
    Hope that pics are good enough.
    Many thanks for any help you could give me.
    Pier Paolo

    This beautiful dress watch is now rare. And very special is that it is a 'full set', complete with original box and papers. Also the 'Milanese' strap is rare.
    Unfortunately these watches are not very well fitting in the fashion of today. But because the set is complete, a vintage collector will appreciate this.
    As Bill Barker notes : we don't discuss prices nor sales on the forum , but for vintage watches sometimes an exception on the rule is permitted. My estimation for this very nice one :1500-2000 Euro.
    Kind regards,
    Adrian,

    Many thanks Adrian for your kind comment to my question.
    I know that this is not the right moment for this kind of watch, "too simple", and even if I like just a little bit the fashion of today with complicated watches, when I think at something elegant, easy to wear, classic, I think at watches like this, may be with a leather strap and not all gold like mine.
    Anyway many thanks for your help and for exception made in this Forum.
    Kind regards.
    Pier Paolo
