GUEST: Well, I brought my watch that my handsome husband gave me about 30 years ago for our wedding anniversary. And I love it, it fits me to a tee.

APPRAISER: You were telling me you wear this for special occasions?

GUEST: I do. It's very special to me.

APPRAISER: Do you know where he got it?

GUEST: Not really, I just know that he has very good taste.

APPRAISER: The reason I really was drawn to this watch, it's absolutely beautiful. It just shows off the Deco period to the maximum. You got the accents of the little emeralds, you got diamonds. The emeralds are magnificent. Probably has about five carats of diamonds. All set in platinum, from probably around 1925.

GUEST: Ah!

APPRAISER: It has onyx that runs all through the whole bracelet. And it actually looks magnificent. It's a great color combination. Onyx and emeralds and white metal look absolutely fabulous. Something like this was probably made in 1925 in New York or Boston.

GUEST: Oh, okay.

APPRAISER: One of the finer houses probably manufactured this. This was sold at one of the better stores in the United States. It's just a Swiss 17 jewel movement. It's not the important part of the object. The important part is really the combination of the onyx, the emeralds and all the diamonds. The combination really works really well.

GUEST: I agree with you, I love wearing it, I do.

APPRAISER: Do you know what your husband happened to pay for this?

GUEST: Not exactly. I heard actually he was telling me today, maybe a few hundred dollars.

APPRAISER: A few hundred dollars.

GUEST: That's all.

APPRAISER: Okay, do you have any idea the value of a watch like this on the retail level today?

GUEST: No, I have no idea.

APPRAISER: You would probably be a retail price of around $10,000.

GUEST: Re... really?

APPRAISER: At least. Maybe even up to a $12,000 watch, depending on the store. If it was sold on a Madison Avenue boutique, it could easily bring $12,000.

GUEST: Oh, my goodness.

APPRAISER: Yeah.

GUEST: He has definitely good taste.

APPRAISER: Yeah, I think you found that out today that your husband has good taste, and buys beautiful things.

GUEST: I mean really.
