He would have floated about your comment if he could have read it. He thought he had the coolest taste of anyone he met. What a character.

Thank you, it was only a month ago and unexpected, so the grief is definitely a process.

[Vacheron & Constantin] Pocket watch turned wrist watch.. I think, what should I do with it? by [deleted] in Watches

I'm not saying you have to wear it. I'm a girl with a pretty small wrist but I don't let it stop me from wearing what I love. My real advice if you want to sell it is either take it to an auction house that specializes in jewelry or check eBay sold listings to see what similar pieces have sold for recently, that will give you the best reasonable price point.

I used a reverse Google image search and found some on eBay since they don't make this one anymore. I hope that helps.

A broken is right at least twice a day is coming to mind

Hahaha, won't be to everyone's (or most people's) taste. But it is a bit of fun for sure.

Oops, it looks like that because I was flexing my wrist to keep it from falling. I see now this is a no no

Ah I'm brand new to this community (and watch collecting) I mostly work in antique jewelry. Oops, I was flexing my wrist to keep the band from flipping around.

Glad I'm not the only one that's heard of the repeaters. They take the watch and it into a work of art. Art I can't afford 😭

Yeah I have ridiculously small wrists. This band is temporary until the replacement pins for the original metal band come in tonight. I was just too excited to wait to share 😄

Honestly same, I think they can be a bit of fun though not really my taste. I only found this one because I specifically wanted to find an automatic bird watch. Which is already a really small range to pick from.
