The following factors are the basis of assigned rarity levels: (a) Market availabiloity, both past and present. (b) Technical quality and innovative design. (c) Historical importance. (d) Condition in relationship to other examples of similar type. (e) Artistic case design, i.e. enamel, unusual shape or form pieces. (f) Low survival rate of similar types. (g) Investment potential for increase in demand and price. A rarity grade will be assigned to highlight items which offer strong investment potential (generally items of level 5 thru 10).  We hope this will assist you when making purchasing descisioins, and we encourage you to call if more information or details are needed.  1-800-424-5353. ** CASE AND MOVEMENT GRADING UNUSED - 100% - Never worn, no problems whatsoever, looks the same as it did when it left the jeweler's store.  Watches in this condition are seldom seen and comman significan t premiums.
