Gentlemen,
I recently inherited a 18k Premier and would like any information you may have and an evaluation on a fair retail price of the watch. The watch is in perfect working order. All registers function normally. Serial # 670772, case reference #797, double stamped bridge. With a little help as to how to post pictures I have a couple I could add. Thank You

nice "spider lug" pieces, part of the high end Premier line; available in 18k and SS, apparently manufactured only in 1946 and 1947; never saw earlier or later pieces; Venus 175 bicompax.

if the watch (manufactured late 1946) is in good condition, VERY roughly between $1.5 & 2.5k

WatchFred,

Thanks for the info. Watch is in perfect working order. The story is that my uncle traded a carton of cigarettes for it while stationed in Germany late 40's early 50's.

Looks right to me. "Perfect working order" is less relevant than recent service history, but Fred's price range is fair for seller and buyer.

The watch was serviced approx 4 years ago. It isn't worn very often but I wind it every 3-4 weeks.
