Swiss Tramelan Watch - Help Needed

[ebayvictim]

Hey guys! Hoping there's a watch expert among us. I have a Swiss Watch that's supposed to be worth $1k. But it has no manufacturer mark inside or out. Just marked Tramelan (which is the name of the town that is famous for watches) Can anyone help or refer me to someone that's knowledgable??? I have every reason to believe it is genuine and that the value is in the ballpark. But you can't sell what you can't identify! Thanks

HI, Ebayvictim..
The Experts on Swiss Watches are on the Rolex Forum, Most of the Men over there are retired, own Yachts, and do nothing but collect fine watches. Thye can tell you when it was mfg, by whom, how many were made, etc..
BTW- if you can get the back off, (if youre not familiar--have a local jeweler do this-requires special screw tool)--there will be markings/even sapphires/rubies inside back of case cover, as well as the gold content/serial number..
They will help you.. just have a pic available..
best regards )

Unusual to be unmarked. The Swiss are rather vain. If the Rolex forum can not
help, try either watchuseek or farfo. I collect Heuer and have used those sites

Thanks for the advice. Tomorrow I'll have to get the jewelry light box out of the garage and dust it off to take photos of the watch! No point in asking on the forums if I don't have clear, detailed pics!
