What's it worth-thread

[hologramet]

Since there are so many vintage experts here, that have a good knowledge of good and not so good prices. Added to the fact that some items so rarely show up. Might help with fewer threads with similar questions. And since "search and you shall find" sometimes and that easy for some items. Well, maybe I'm wrong and it'll go to page 10 in a couple of weeks. Or maybe some other readers will throw in their current chase, and maybe get a good feel to however or not it is a good / decent / bad price for the item they're pondering to buy.

My first take:

1680/8 Skin(nier) font original insert with tritium pearl w/ surround // condition good // 170 USD

I've never seen an insert for a 1680 with a metal surround at the pearl, so I don't think it's genuine, but I could be wrong. Those Rolex envelopes are a dime a dozen BTW.

I do have that insert for a gold/black dialed 1680 with an all acrylic pearl- picked it up for a song 5 years ago. I was thinking about building a TT 1680- which by the way is a fantasy model- Rolex never sold a TT 1680!

I agree with Alli here - first impression seems to suggest this isn't genuine.

Thx for the tips!

I'm adding this baby to the mix, maybe someone is interested in it. Fair price?
