Shouldnāt even have to askā¦
The Baume and Mercier āHamptonā gets rolled out for the yearly GAA dinner dance, the annual Macra awards, The Paddleboard Society breakfast events and the usual weddings, christenings and communion functions.
A lovely contrast with the fading freckles in the backdrop.

How much would that cost?
Youd get it for a tenner at any decent car boot sale
Haha Iāll need a lucky 15 to come in.
The price is on the page you posted
I have about 15 Rolex watches around the house. A couple of years ago I brought one of them in for a battery. Your man told me that the battery was worth more than the watch. (That actually happened)
Those rolexes are worth an awful lot of money now. That āantiques dealerā was a shyster.
Apologies omega.

Not the Omega. The other watch. Iāve only ever worn it for my wedding. We only went in for a valuation or something. Sure that was the equivalent of around 5000 euro so it was easily worth double that if not more. When Iām back in Tipp next week, Iāll dig it out and send a pic

Thereās a Rolex worn by iirc Paul Newman in a film, I donāt even think it was that watch, just the same model recently sold for a staggering sum.
If that was a Seiko itād be a roaster classic.
Are you married 51 years?
No. It was a watch from my grandfather.
My mother reckons it came from a business associate, or perhaps her stepmother. She says she has no emotional attachment to it, one way or the other.
The other watch is from the 1930s I think and was a present from my motherās own mother (who died when my mother was two) to my grandfather. Will get a pic of that next week.
