This was my fathers watch that was overhauled 12 years ago and stored ever since. Style: 18 ky Yacht Club : serial 2138060 : cal C8541B. I am trying to get a resale valuation for the estate. Any suggestions? Thanks

It is always good to look on auction sites or sales platforms ( as chrono24 ) to see wath the asking prices are for a watch. That helps you get a realistic view on the market.

Check recent sales of similar watches on auction sites or marketplaces like Chrono24 to estimate a realistic resale value.

Since the watch was overhauled 12 years ago and has been stored since, the best step is to get a fresh evaluation from a certified vintage watch appraiser—especially one familiar with the IWC Yacht Club models.Providing recent photos, movement condition, and any service paperwork will help them give an accurate resale valuation. You can also compare recent auction results for similar 18k Yacht Club pieces to get a ballpark figure.
