#Concord watch serial number lookup series
Besides the 2020 Corvette, the second-highest selling charity vehicle was the first production 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible Inspiration Series VIN 100001 for $2 million. The top non-charity vehicle sold that day was a 2017 Ford GT for $1.5 million, Barrett-Jackson's news release said. Also, $7.6 million was raised through the sale of nine charity vehicles, bringing the total amount sold on the Barrett-Jackson auction block to more than $141 million. There were nearly 1,200 pieces of "automobilia" that brought in more than $3.7 million, Barrett-Jackson said.
The event, which went January 11-19, had a "record number of bidders" vying for over 1,900 vehicles that sold for $129.7 million. Outside, tens of thousands of people milled about hoping to witness the rare cars at auction, he said.īarrett-Jackson said the auction was its largest and most successful in its 49-year history. The energy in the room amplified instantly with the crowd "screaming and the auctioneer was screaming, it was wild," he said. I'm currently searching for a gents 18k/stainless rectangular case version, as I really liked the unique look and thinness of the watch.The car, a 3LT with the Z51 performance package, crossed the block at the 49th Annual Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in Arizona on Saturday at 5:30 p.m., Hendrick said. Unfortunately, I traded my watch with an old Rolex in 1981 to Tourneau for an Audemars Royal Oak. Concord did not stamp any gold hallmarks on the case, as a way of avoiding the import taxes. In 1979, I purchased a new stainless & 18k yellow gold Centurion for $1400.00 from Tourneau, in New York City. The movement used near the end of the model run, was based on either the Concord Nine Quartz or the Delirum quartz. whether used in the stainless or all gold watch. It was also produced in all 18k yellow gold, 18k yellow & 18k white gold. The Concord Centurion was produced in various models: an all stainless steel & 18k yellow gold rectangular case with integrated bracelet or the oval ladies case, as in your photo. Concord, was a pioneer in Swiss quartz design, with their Delirum, being the thinnest Swiss quartz produced. made quality watches and was ranked in the top ten of Swiss watch firms. This was at the time when Movado Group purchased Concord and changed the model line. It was then replaced by the Saratoga models. It's design was somewhat similiar to Piaget's original Polo, although it was made to be much thinner and lighter on the wrist. The Centurion, was Concord's flagship model, between 1970-1979. They are so small that they sometimes look like imperfections. Hallmarks are used almost exclusively in Europe and are tiny little emblems stamped into the gold. Vintage Omegas and IWCs can have a very thick layer of gold on top and steel on the bottom. When there are two metals on a case (some very expensive watches have this) they will be marked something like "14K Bezel case metal" meaning that the top piece is actually gold but the rest is steel or plated brass. Early quality gold filled cases have a LOT of gold on them. On the average watch, the gold case will be marked as "14K" "18K", plated watches will be marked "10K G.F." or "14K Gold Filled" or "10K R.G.P." (rolled gold plate) cases that are electroplated will have ".20 micron.blah, blah"these are the cheapest methods of plating and will wear the quickest.
This has a back that can be opened with a screwdriver, open this thing up and peek inside you'll see what I am talking about. If a watch has any solid gold, it is almost always written on the case or marked somewhere with a hallmark.
