Getty 16J - help me value this watch???
Illinois S/N 1611397

I picked this one up with mixed hands and terrible photos for a decent price... I finally found hands to fit it and cleaned up the case. She runs like a champ and shows pretty well.

My delima is that the book does not discuss the 16J Getty. There were only 3 runs of this M5 Grade 183 for a total production of 1300.

I'd love to hear your opinions on how to value this watch.

Thanks a mil, Pault

It is worth noting the first run was marked "16 Jewels". This was probably expected to be used in Private Label stuff, and never caught on, so it is quite rare. The Scripted Dial is a Classic!
