Re: Vintage JLC power reserve
I'll try to nag them again for production figures. They say that many many of the factory records were discarded circa 1975 when the factory almost went bankrupt with increased competition from Japanese quartz watches. So that info may be buried somewhere, but I couldn't find it during my visit.

Re: Vintage JLC power reserve
You do indeed have an E163. As far as I know the factory didn't know the exact production figure for this model. My guess is that it's less than 500 in total, steel and gold. So pretty rare.

Re: Vintage Breitling Unitime 1765
I think an NOS dial always increases value. A case polish usually decreases it unless there was some real nasty scratch. Nicely lumed hands are a wash.

Re: Vintage Breitling Unitime 1765
If it have a NOS dial, service, etc. maybe around $6000? What are your thoughts?

Re: question on 916 Speedbeat
Hard to tell for sure, but it does sound like a mismatch. I'd need to see photos.

Re: another memovox
It really depends on the style and exact model, but $2k might be a little high, maybe more like $1600 for a manual wind US market alarm.

Sorry but I do not have anything for this model in particular. The sub seconds can be trimmed.

Re: Help in Validating Authenticity and Valuation
That serial would date the movement to 1955. I don't think it's worth more than $300-400.

Re: Help in Validating Authenticity and Valuation
It's genuine, but I don't think the gold filled watches will be all that valuable. It's probably around 1960. What is the movement serial number?
