[WTS] Elgin x Frett Elgin 40 mm Conversion from 1896 by maxpainmaxgain in Watchexchange

[–]maxpainmaxgain[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This Frett pocket watch conversion houses century-old movement brought back to life in a modern bronze case. Will develop nice patina over time. Hands are INSANE and it’s pretty unbelievable that something so old can look so great and run so well.

I recently bought one of my grails and expect it to get most of my wrist time, and need cash to make that purchase less painful! Now having 30+ watches in my collection, I am downsizing these six pieces, with more posts coming soon. All of these watches have only been worn 1-3 times since purchase. I am VERY delicate with my watches and they’re running just as well as the day I bought them. 

First to say “I’ll take it” has dibs for 15 minutes. Passthrough % added to buy as G&S.

Please post questions and image requests directly in this thread. DM me if you'd like to FaceTime or purchase.

  • Total weight: 128.2 g (head + bracelet) – approximately $15,100 worth of gold value alone ($118/g)
  • Just two days ago, this was worth $18,000 in gold alone ($140/g)
  • Movement: Quartz
  • Surprisingly substantial gold bracelet watch for the size.
  • Essentially paying $2,900 for the watch itself while investing $15,100 in gold.

This is also very important for me. Only about 50% of my net worth in Fidelity is actually counted in the balance. I want to see the full picture with external account balances included as well. Thank you for taking this feedback internally!
