Looking to sell my Cartier tank. The case is solid 14k, signed Concord, and has a sapphire cabochon crown. The movement is also signed Concord.

These watches were sold by fine retailers in the 50s or so like Cartier, Tiffany, etc. Any questions, please ask.

Looking for $1100 OBO. Email to gandhi85 AT aol DOT com

I really expected this to generate more interest...

I just want to mention there's a big fat OBO on the price, so feel free to offer any amount.
(The same on my other watch, too)

Nice looking watch. Might help to give the measurements for the case though and if you can , reveal some history of this timepiece like who it belonged to (someone in your family perhaps) or where you sourced it. Details of its condition is also helpful, like mentioning deep scratches, dings etc. If you can, a clear closeup of the dial would be good too. Does it keep good time?

I will have all of this info on Monday (I keep a stash of watches in my office).

I may not be able to get a close up of the movement. I am always very hesitant to open my watches...I have done it in the past and as result the opened watches have mysteriously stopped working.

This watch was purchased at a local estate sale on Long Island. I just got it back from my watchmaker who replaced the crystal, staff, and mainspring in addition to cleaning the case and movement (a ~$250 service total). The watch is functioning perfectly, keeps great time (never more then +/- 1 minute after a whole wind), winds and sets very smoothly.

The case had an ultrasonic cleaning (not a polishing) so it is nice and shiny but I will double check for scratches, dings, dents. The dial is original so it has some patina...just shoot me an emai for a huge close up that shows every tiny imperfection that you wouldn't be able to see with the naked eye.

I will throw in the other two watches I have currently posted for $100 extra ($300 combined listed total) and will pay for ovenight shipping. Please feel free to offer any cash amount and do not hesitate to send questions my way.

A few procedural things: (1) You can't bump your own threads unless you have a price drop. You can answer questions via PM, or revise your original listing to include new information. You may want to review the B&S rules, just to make sure, as the mods are getting serious and are deleting threads or even banning members for repeat offenses. Just an FYI! (2) You should consolidate these items into one thread. You don't need a whole thread for a single item. Have the thread say "Watches: XYZ(brand names)" as the title and then inside the first post, list each item and information. Good luck with the items and the sales!
