Completely! $4K for a watch that's worth over $10 is nuts! Congrats, but I must say I am a little jealous

How on earth can a store that specializes in jewelry and watches sell one for over half the going rate when a simple google search will tell them what they need to know?

And the store must have bought it for less than 2K, making at least two parties that had no idea of the current value of this watch.

1665 at my Jeweler this weekend. Thoughts

So who's gonna start the inevitable bashing of someone who found a great deal?

Nice pick-up, OP!

I spent $3,500 on a 16233 Datejust w/Jubilee and felt pretty good about it. You got the deal of a lifetime! Congratulations! Let us know how accurate she is!

congratulations!!

but i think as you original said that your insurence company send you to this store to value your another new watch....maybe it will be better to do that at another jeweler?
