Thanks, Dan. Mine is a 1982-vintage model, and these generally are now going for quite a bit more than my original purchase price of $750.

Here is one in auction almost identical to mine (except in poor shape), with a current bid of $560:

I have seen these go for a couple of thousand in pristine condition.

Love the dial on that Cartier Prince. Looks like something Bogart would wear!

Thanks, Chad. Yeah, I can definitely see it on Bogie's wrist. And since it was certainly around then (First presented to General Pershing in 1918 by Louis Cartier) and very popular, that could very well have been the case!
