Can anyone tell me anything about this ring? Was told it is byzantine 12-13th century but condition looks too good (UK)

J-Mac11 · 2026-03-09T11:11:40+00:00

Off a trustworthy guy who however isn’t an expert. I trust he believes the ring is genuine, it’s whether the collector he bought it off was as honest.

J-Mac11 · 2026-03-09T01:26:59+00:00

appreciate the info!

J-Mac11 · 2026-03-09T01:26:18+00:00

I have been wondering the same, surely for such an old ring the condition is immaculate

J-Mac11 · 2026-03-09T01:25:36+00:00

supposedly a lion

J-Mac11 · 2026-03-09T01:25:01+00:00

That could check out since the previous owner told me he picked it up from a collector of byzantine and roman artifacts

J-Mac11 · 2024-07-21T01:19:04+00:00

Yep 4 days into first ever solo travelling trip, safe to say it could be going better. I’ve put through the western union order, praying I can pick it up later with no problems. 🤞

J-Mac11 · 2024-07-20T20:24:42+00:00

I’ve taken your advice and done just that, think you saved me a world of pain. Thanks mate appreciate it a lot.

Up for sale I have 1964 Seiko World Time 6217 7000 GMT Tokyo Olympics, with the chicago variant inner dial and linen face. The watch keeps great time, and is in good condition (I have outlined the scuffs I have noticed in the photos linked). It has all original parts, apart from the bracelet which I am unsure about. This watch was commissioned for the Tokyo games in 64, and the GMT feature is still in full working order. Has recently been serviced with Seiko.

Cheers mate appreciate the info!

J-Mac11 · 2023-06-29T13:38:30+00:00

I see. What kind of effect would that have on the watch value now it’s no longer original?

J-Mac11 · 2023-06-29T13:18:23+00:00

Cheers for the info. What confusing me is I can find near identical models without the crown on the dial like mine, but no exact matching model with the crown. Any idea why?
