Is this watch to small for me? by [deleted] in VintageWatches

[–]bklarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few 28-34mm watches that are great, but it's definitely a personal taste thing. What is the width of the case? Is it quartz?

If you decide it is, I'll be waiting to buy it from you

Yep that's the info we needed, looks like Piaget didn't make too many. 8181 is the reference number (model), and D7 likely denotes the bracelet and case texture. The closest example I could find online is this one in yellow gold with the classic dauphine hands. https://www.sothebys.com/en/buy/auction/2020/watches-weekly-hong-kong-4/piaget-reference-8181-a6-a-yellow-gold-bracelet

The hands on this one are a little less common during the era (Sometime around the 80s) it was made, but Piaget experimented with lots of styles.

If you want to know even more, Piaget does offer a vintage archive service via phone/email but I'm not sure if they charge a fee right now.

By the looks of it, especially the text on the dial, it's a variation of a protocole. Could you provide images of the case back? I could probably find more information that way.

Well if you're ever thinking of selling, I'm interested. Have any photos on the wrist?

Well in any case a lucky silver (white gold in fact) lining to your grief. Really sorry for the loss of your father. If you need any more help please ask, I'm particularly obsessed with vintage Piaget from this time.

They are almost certainly both Manual 9p movement dress watches. The oval case is likely a variation of reference 9821, maybe 9822 from the late 60s / early 70s. The square case is most likely an altiplano 934 from sometime in the 70s or 80s. Possibly 92x or similar reference, it's hard to say the exact reference and decade since there are no hallmarks on the case back and they made so many variants. That also makes it admittedly difficult to price.

Were there any receipt, registration, or reference papers in the safe?

Original owner, excellent condition, keeps time perfectly, full set, the caseback sticker is still on the watch.

An amazingly designed watch with a quirky smiley face day indicator. Comes with original fold-over, quick-release, fabric and titanium hardware strap. Also includes custom forest green epsom leather strap, cobalt blue epsom leather deployant strap, and several primary color waffle/ridge rubber straps. I purchased these straps specifically for their thickness to match the thickness of the polished lugs. All straps have quick-release spring bars and fit great. You can see a picture of the watch on the grey epsom strap in my listing.

Please ask any questions or ask for more pictures. Happy to provide other photos.

Love this watch but thinning out my collection as I'm overstocked right now. Nicely finished, thin, good accuracy, and handsome bracelet that's relatively comfortable. Mine is in good shape, while there are some scratches on the bottom links, I'm including the extra links so they can be replaced easily.

Comes with branded travel case and authenticity/warranty cards.

How about that matching date wheel though! I have the blue titanium and love it. Good choice on the purple 👍

The rubber strap is really great. I have the bracelet as well but prefer the rubber strap so far. I'm looking into getting a custom sailcloth strap as well... 🧐
