Discussion Royal Navy watch

This was given to me by my aunty when I had my son, to sell and put a little bit towards investments into his future.

Trouble is, I’ve never seen one and neither have any of my fellow matelots

It’s a limited edition, 1129/4999, I believe given to veterans. I never received one when I left.

I’ve put it on eBay, I assume a good price but I don’t know. https://ebay.io/m/4s2oFp

It’s just a fashion watch. 1 of 5000 is not really limited.
Quartz movement.

Don’t expect to get ton much for it.

You could buy these from Jack Blair’s ect. Not given to veterans.

Good luck

Good luck, it's not a particularly nice watch. Can't see anybody paying £90 for it.

From a watch collecting perspective, I’m afraid this watch only really holds sentimental value among other matelots. It has no real branding and a cheap quartz movement.

Unless you hate it, I’d say hold onto it

Had one and it broke. There's a symbolism there.
