Title: 1920´s gold Tuxedo pocketwatch
Post by: henkcryptotank on December 26, 2020, 05:10:30 PM
Really stylish pocketwatch from around 1925. The things this must have seen :D
From the roaring ´20s, into the Stinky ´20s :-X

For sale, this undamaged Swiss piece of fine machinery.
I know this forum may not be the perfect place for sale, but i thought to give it a chance anyway.
If it doesnt sell in about a week´s time, its going to an auction house.

The company that made the watch is the International Watch Company, founded by an American if i remember correctly.
But made in Swiss.
Its hallmarked in all the right places, and is 18 carat gold.
Total weight is 47.5 grams. The backplate alone is almost 10 grams solid gold

Because of my excellent reputation on this website, i would prefer no escrow.
Payment adress is:

This has been in my collection for i guess 3 years. I bought it at a yard sale in an old estate, near Ghent, Belgium.

IWC International Watch Co. AG, doing business as IWC Schaffhausen, is a luxury Swiss watch manufacturer located in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.[1] Founded by American watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones in 1868.
In 1868, American engineer and watchmaker Florentine Ariosto Jones (1841–1916), who had been a director of E. Howard & Co., in Boston, then America's leading watchmaking company, founded the International Watch Company with the intention of combining Swiss craftsmanship with the modern engineering technology from the U.S. to manufacture watch movements and other watch parts for the American market.

Do you accept only btc or eth allowed? I cannot respond to you via pm as I only have access to 1 pm per hour. Would prefer to discuss things privately and I will pay first no escrow once we come to an agreement on the product.

Thank you, but as it stands I am new and found this place by accident (no accidents but certainly did not know it existed). I want it but the BTC will not clear for 6 days on my end for transfer (only have access to Coinbase, NY is too strict).

I only have .41 of ETH that is transferable right now, I can send that now and send rest when it becomes transferable, you can then ship it once you get the final sum and not until then.

If someone else comes and offers/buys it, then just refund me it, we're all adults here.

Its a little unconventional, but O.K. by me!

Hit me a PM with details.
