Hello all, I am new to this forum and have registered to ask a (hopefully)
rather specific question. I have always preferred pocket watches over
wristwatches, and I have always found IWC pocket watches especially alluring.
Now I have had an unexpected windfall and I want to start the hunt for the
watch I always wanted, namely an IWC pocket watch cal. 972 or 982. I am not
too peculiar about the case (open face vs. hunter, steel vs. gold etc.) as it
is the clockwork that intrigues me.
Unfortunately I lack the feel for what would be a decent price. I am not
looking for a bargain, but obviously I do not want to fall for a scam either.
Can anyone help me with ballpark estimates for such watches, depending on the
case? For example, I have found a gold savonette with papers, in seemingly
good condition, for EUR 3,000. How would you rate that price?
Thanks in advance for your help.
