![]() Which btw, is what helped influence my final decision to buy this watch to stock up on my Gold investment. I also checked eBay and saw another 218 w/ 18K Gold bracelet listed for about $3,800. So the Gold content for the watch alone is about $6,300 scrap he says. He tells me that for scrap, it would be $70 per gram, but as part of jewelry/watch, I would be looking at about $80 per gram. It came out at around 90 grams (he quoted it in pennyweight btw). He took the watch apart (the watch guy there has worked with Bulovas for almost thirty years apparently - go figure) and weighed the gold content (case + strap). I went back to the store and expressed my concerns. Just enough gold hue to keep the color at a match, none the less its a nice looking band and dont over power the look of the case. Anything slightly above or belowħ50 or 0.750 would not have to have a proof hallmark other than the 760 noted. If it were me I would place a retail value at around $1400 to $1800. The bracelet shown in the photo would destory itself. On a soild gold bracelet the links would be more spread apart. The 760 I beleave refers to the gold content of the plate over SS. Another thing I found out about my watch is I had to repair the calender hair spring in my watch and on doing so the spacer between the dial and the movement was soild gold also not a off metal or brass very shiney gold about 1/2 mm thick.Īs far as Techm8's bracelet I would have to say the band is not soild 18k. Sam I going to refer back to my notes on the maker. ![]() So soon Im selling mine for 2 for a fast sale. Im thinking that price would be the gold content, it may be still on line the serial #'s are less than 100 apart from mine. As far as $3500.00 from what I have seen so far its the going rate there is a 18k gold Accutron watch just like mine on ebay with a buy it now for $3800.00 the only differance is the band they have is a marrage. It very well may be worth more than you think. I dont know who you bought it from but I am willing to guess that the person who sold it sold it to you with just the gold content in mind. Sky I think you got a very good deal on your Astronant, for what I have been learning so far in my mind with what you got for the price is great you have gold content and a very collectable model to boot you win both ways with your watch if gold prices go down you still have an Astronant.
