This review is for the upcoming watch action being held at Bonhams in Kightsbridge, London. The lots that have been chosen for review are those which have caught my eye as being potential bargains. The full list of lots and full descriptions can be viewed at the following link to Bonhams website.
Lot 131: Rolex Date (1962)
This ladies Rolex comes in 18k white gold. At 30mm, it's a typically small ladie's watch and has a calendar. The condition of the watch looks good and for a white gold Rolex, this looks like very good value for anyone looking for a watch like this.
Estimate: £800 - 1200 Sale Price: £6875
Lot 140: Movado Datron Pilot (1975)
A well-maintained 1970's watch by Movado with chronograph and date. A fairly rare watch, this model looks very refined with its light blue centre chronograph second hand and well-defined bezel. At 43mm, it's the perfect size for most men.
Estimate: £800 - 1200 Sale Price: £1375
Lot 141: Omega Flightmaster (1970)
In my opinion, one of Omega's most attractive designs ever. Features include an internal rotating bezel, second time zone hand as well as 24 hour timekeeping on a subsidiary dial. This particular watch needs a bit of care as there is visible corrosion on the case and strap. A service and clean would probably have it back to top condition. Case size is 43mm.
Estimate: £1000 - 1500 Sale Price: £1125
Lot 149: Rolex Oysterdate (1967)
A Rolex Oysterdate in moderate condition. There are visible signs of wear on the case and crystal and the watch would benefit from a professional polish and probably a service. With a case size is 35mm, it's probably too small for most men but would suit a lady who prefers a slightly larger watch.
Estimate: £800-1200 Sale Price: £937
Lot 217: Rolex Air-King (1973)
A Rolex Air-King in good cosmetic condition. The leather strap is non-standard and the face is radial brushed. Case size is relatively small 34mm.
Estimate: £800-1200 Sale Price: £1125
Lot 278: Omega DeVille (2006)
This DeVille is in great condition and relatively new. The watch would benefit from a strap change from the current one to give it a more classic look. Case size is 39mm, a perfect dress watch size for most men.
Estimate: £700-900 Sale Price: £1250
Lot 287: Tag Heuer Monaco (2005)
This Monaco is my pick of the auction for bargains. It's the chronograph model and is in great condition. A unique feature is that this particular model is branded with the traditional Heuer logo which was used before the Tag Heuer partnership. At 10 years old, and with an estimated price of £700-1000 it looks set to sell for what the standard non-chronograph model usually sells for at auction. Case size is 38mm.
Estimate: £700-1000 Sale Price: £1250
