Men's watch from the 50's. Calibre 1210 mvt. pretty sure.

Dial is refinished badly and stylistically has very little to do with that watch.

[Anty]

So in other words not worth anything?

It's worth as much as someone will pay for it

[offrdmania]

It has value, but not as much as if it were all original. I would say $900-1100us in the secondary market due to its condition and having a bracelet which is 1/3 of that price. A Speedking dial is what you need. At that price range it would allow someone to hopefully source a replacement original dial. That is, if they can find one.

Post clear pics of the opened clasp on the bracelet (both sides) so that we can read the date code. Also, you can pop off the spring bars on the bracelet and it will reveal the serial number between the lugs on the case. That will tell us pretty much its year of production. Im guessing late 50s due to the daphne hands and the rivet bracelet. Most likely the bracelet is from the 60s.

The lugs are quite short and the end link is dinged and bent; not to mention that dial.

I don't think a watch that needs so much work to make it right would be a great starter Rolex. More like a money pit PIA.

"A Speedking dial is what you need. At that price range it would allow someone to hopefully source a replacement original dial. That is, if they can find one.'

Actually Rolex Oyster Precision dial is what he needs but not the 34mm version.

The 6430 dial will say Oyster Speedking and Precision below

When something has too much to apologize about it might be better to look into parting it out. Especially when you are talking about putting it on ebay where a buyer can cause you so much heartburn.

Be careful with Bobs. The offer online and what they actually pay once they receive it and inspect it are two different things.

I believe the offered "up to" $1,000.

[Anty]

Sounds like you guys have had bad experiences with bobs. Ill just go ebay route and specify everything in the ad.
