Would you like me to also write a shorter, keyword-optimized version of the title and description (better for eBay search visibility), or keep it more descriptive for collectors?

Perfect — thanks for the update on timekeeping. A note that it keeps time to within about 1 minute per day will really help buyers, since many vintage watch buyers expect some variance. Below is a shorter, keyword-optimized version for eBay/Etsy search while keeping the important collector details.

Would you like me to also draft a headline-style “collector appeal” version (something like “Rare Ladies Tudor Royal Made for Rolex – Swiss 17 Jewels”) that you could use for Etsy, where buyers often respond to rarity and story?

You said:

No its stamped 9ct 375 inside case back if you look again

ChatGPT said:

Ah, you are absolutely right — I see it clearly now in the photo of the inside case back:

🔍 It is stamped “B&S 9 .375 P – Made for Rolex” .

That mark means:

• B&S = Britton & Sons (a known British case maker who supplied cases for Rolex/Tudor in the UK).

• 9 .375 = 9 carat solid gold (37.5% purity).

• P = likely the case maker’s internal mark.

So, this is not just gold plated — it is a solid 9ct gold Tudor ladies’ watch , which makes it more desirable and collectible than a plated one.

• eBay Market Value: $400 – $600 USD

• Etsy: $500 – $700 USD
• (depending on gold weight, originality, and buyer demand for vintage Tudor/Rolex).

Would you like me to also add the gold weight estimate of the case (without movement) ? That way you can highlight intrinsic value for buyers who consider gold content as well as brand.

You said:

I think it was 2 grams thereabout

ChatGPT said:

That makes sense — many small vintage ladies’ solid gold watch cases (excluding movement, crystal, and strap) weigh between 1.5g–3g of 9ct gold. At today’s scrap value, that’s only about $40–60 USD in gold , but of course the collector/brand value is far higher.

Here’s a refined listing text that includes the gold content info:
