Need help with an offer on a Vintage piece
Hi, I've been offered a few vintage pieces and would like an opinion on what to watch out for and an idea on price as well. Can I email a member with the photos and details? I'd prefer not to post them here in the open forum. Thanks!

Ah, those DJs & DD - yes, seen those, and they look very nice, but not really my area. You'll soon get some informed opinions about DJ's and specifically 'Tiffany' dials, but, as far as I know, unless you have papers with them + original sales receipt from Tiffany's - it's hard to know for certain if they were indeed retailed by them.

Thanks Vincent. I will have the chance to see them in person if I decide to get one but was curious what others thought of them. Thanks for the input, Cheers!

All three are a pass from me.
The Tiffany dial watches are value-less without docs as noted above. The blue roman tiff dj is also concerning as I'm not sure that dial was offered within The time period Tiffany retailed Rolex. The 1803 bracelet Looks rough. I just Handled one w a near perfect bracelet, case box & papers for $16k so Unless the price is much lower its a meh deal. |

I was more interested in the WG 1803, without the bracelet because as you noted, it is quite rough. The price for that is a bit over half of the price you quoted on the one you handled. Any idea on what you pay for the head w/o box and papers? Thanks again. Cheers!

Not sure that Roman numeral dial existed in the Tiffany era, and wouldn't buy a Tiffany watch without papers confirming such anyway...

The 1803 is beautiful...esp for that price.
I just purchased a watch from the same seller - the condition was flawless - and his price was very fair. I would buy from him again without question. |

Can you share what you bought from him? My original budget was 1/2 what the 1803 is selling for though. I was interested in a 1601 or 1803 in SS. Not sure I want to go that much over my budget. Not sure if it is worth it. Any thoughts on getting one is WG when SS looks so similar? Thanks for all the input.

1803 is not available in SS, 1601 does.

1803 in wg is def a collector oriented piece. For every 10 yg 1803s there is
One in wg. This is just based on what I've seen in the market. Not sure what The real numbers are. |
