Said he paid $10,000 back in ‘87, at a guess it say it would have just about doubled in value. Lovely watch, but handling it affirmed the fact that gold watches are not for me. Do we call this model a Root beer? It is indeed a rendition of the Root Beer @Thommo82 the one you have captured is less often seen than the bi-coloured bezel ones like below: I agree with the valuation & with it being full gold as apposed to TT makes a big difference to the value/collectability.

At first I thought that perhaps the bezel has all faded into the one colour, but in reality it has barely faded at all. I almost prefer the single colour bezel for this model. Had a fair heft to it, especially as I’m used to handling SS watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Realism 72 Posted August 15, 2019 Quick check shows the Gold version is worth twice the stainless.....Checked the secondary market? The blnr Batgirl is worth 16-18k depending on condition.
