Fortis Watch Valuation (FAO Rotty)

R4z0r · 4 Dec 2007 at 15:11

Hi, I purchassed a Fortis B42 Automatic Chronograph at the start of the year and am now looking to sell it/trade in for a different watch. I like the look of the black dial Fortis Marine Master or possibly the Omega Planet Ocean.

My question is how much is my watch worth (cash and trade) and where could I sell/trade it? I tried the place I bought it from (Austin Kaye, London) and they said 1/3 of retail cash maybe a little more trade! This seems very low to me seeing as it's in perfect condition, boxed and with all documents/receipts.

Are they trying to take me for a ride or has my watch really lost 66% of it's retail value in under a year

Thanks for the quick reply, saddly it's not what I wanted to hear but still. On a slightly different note, how much should I be looking to pay for an Omega Planet Ocean in cash?

Could you point me in the right direction for a new planet ocean (orange bezel) at that price, I can't get anywhere round here down past £1650!

Thanks Rotty, much appreciated

I've managed to find it for £1460 at a place called Delicious Diamonds - do you know anything about them? From looking at online reviews they seem quite good.
