Hope this isn't too off topic. This Ebay seller says he will melt this men's watch for scrap gold if it doesn't sell. Thought this might be of interest.

i can tell u right now, theres not enough gold in that watch to make 3,000

 

its 18k gold, so the seller doesnt realize you have to multiply the gold wieght by .750 for a better idea of its metal value. and if scrapping, a little less than that even.

 

if there is that much gold in that watch, which i doubt, then it would be worth around 1900 , but realistically closer to 1,750.

Watch collectors are much like coin collectors and will pay crazy prices for something they like. The seller feels it's a rare item. I can't tell you if he is correct.
