For some reason I have a Monarch Polfy case laying around. I read somewhere that these are considered pretty good cases, so I just wonder if its worth anything because I will not be using it and maybe somebody else can benefit from it.



Thanks in advance for any help you can offer 8)

I'm sure someone can answer your question (unfortunately I'm not one of them), but just wanted to give you a friendly reminder that if you do decide to sell that case here that you do need to wait until you've accumulated fifty quality posts (that is, don't start running posts now, which would be obvious and would result in a sales ban). However, when you do get to that point, we'll look forward to seeing pictures of that case as well. :)

Maybe you could tell us which case it is- like a 16610 Submariner. Also, the SN between the 6 o'clock lugs would help. The best MBW cases are the latest ones- the earlier ones were OK, but are somewhat outdated at this point.

863698 indicates a chinese case. It's preceded by letters like R, P, etc. If it says ORIG POLEX DESIGN between the lugs at 12, that would make it an old MBW, otherwise its a chinese case with am MBW caseback. It's old, so not worth really anything, IMO.

I have a canal junk rep with this case. Paid $25 for the whole watch and if I can find it I will take a pic of it. But I doubt that the case is worth much, if anything.

Thanks for the help. It was something I bought a while back off of ioffer before I found this forum. It had a swiss eta, so I used that on a project since the fonts on the dial were horrible.
