This presentation Rotary 9k gold watch has the box and is still on the signed strap – it could be unworn.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

The long service inscription on the case back doesn’t mention a  year, and thee hallmark is not a British one, so it doesn’t have a dating system we can use.  We do know two things though – the movement was launched in 1988, and in 1990 the owner of BYW’s bought a similar watch, albeit in gold plate, as his first watch.  We think this watch was made circa 1988.

CONDITION

You can buy a new Accurist men’s watch in 9k gold that looks very similar – for £999.  Mr. Mimmack didn’t spend money on this watch, but had to work for 25 years at L.C.G Ltd in order to earn it.  He either kept it for very best, or never wore it for some reason.  The Rotary strap is like new.  The only sign of wear is some tool marks where the case opens, possibly for the battery change.  The movement is an ETA 955.414, as found in many watches of the period from brands like TAG Heuer, Gucci, Bucherer and many others.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The dial is clean and the white background and baton hands works really well and is very legible.

This watch will be supplied with the original presentation box, and our Certificate of Authenticity.
