Dear all,
I got this watch as a gift from my uncle. Which model is it and what is a
market value of it? Also, do you suggest some service of it and who can
provide spare parts? Thank you so much on your kind advice and help. Looking
forward to get some more information.
Looks like a ref 810 manual wind calibre 89
As for service and parts, your best option may be to take it to an authorized
dealer of IWC watches (or contact your nearest store by phone or email) and
inquire about service. The cost and duration of the service may be more than
you had bargained for, but if the watch is a very sentimental reminder of a
favorite uncle it will be worth it.
Thank.you so much for your kind help. What do you think about market price?
Would it be resonable to invest some money in service of this watch?
We don't offer evaluations on this forum. Best bet is to check eBay for Sold
Items to get some idea of what a similar watch in similar condition sold for,
and compare it to the estimate you get for refurbishment. Chances are, the
cost of refurbishing the watch will exceed what it would sell for. Plus, there
are buyers who prefer to have their own sources perform service on the watch.
You may consider selling the watch as-is.
This forum has members who might suggest keeping the watch for sentimental
reasons, and having it serviced. But it appears by your question about market
value and investment, that the watch doesn't mean to you what it might mean to
an
admirer of IWC. In case you wonder, we do not have a sales section on the
forum so you might consider eBay or Chrono24 for sales opportunities.
Good luck however you decide to proceed.
