Hi fishes, I attempted an interview for software engineer post at Amdocs. I cleared the first round of interview and later contacted the recruiter for the same. The recruiter replied by saying they will let me know once panel will be available.
It’s been around 2 weeks I haven’t heard from the recruiter.
Can anyone guide me and help me with the same?

A bark bracelet President stands out as the scammy of scam watches, as someone attempted to scam me with one just like this way back when I started collecting watches over 25 years ago. Take that as you will.
Assuming it’s what you describe and has box/papers I would contact Matthew Bain Inc. or Bobs Watches. Both A+.
The truth is the market for a watch like this is not very liquid. A vast majority of fine watches are pretty illiquid at good prices. So if your friend just wants to get rid of it, they’re gonna have to take a discount because it’s gonna sit forever before it finds a buyer. Or they can consign it with one of the sellers I mentioned above who will take a fee. They will have to send it in so that it can be authenticated as they won’t list something based on pictures.
Also, keep in mind most watches like this actually trade for 30% + less than the asking prices you see online in a sale.
This era bark bracelet President comes from circa 70s - 90s, an era full of modifications, oddball repairs and the like. They were more common then and not treated as preciously or command the price relative to income as today. Used back then they traded for 60%+ less than retail. Often worked on at local jewelers and modified with non Rolex bracelets parts etc. So something mint from this era could actually fetch a nice price from the right buyer, but pairing that buyer with the seller is going to take a while as a watch like this is not really in tune with modern tastes and price is going to be what you will get someone to pay. Listing it somewhere that can prove its provenance will be key to a good price.
Big factor on value is quick set or not. Is it 90s quick set worn a dozen times? Bigger money than 80s non. All that to say, I would think the floor on something like this with proven authenticity to the right buyer is 13-18.5k
There is also, it’s actual weight in gold which is nothing to sneeze at and well over 10k at spot prices. Good luck!
My pleasure. It starts with one…. Careful!

How good is the friend? Because this sounds scammy AF.
But to answer your questions, Chrono24, eBay, and get bezel are the best options for selling. They can look up the reference number of the watch to get an idea of the value

I don’t understand what folks are saying sounds scammy here.
I’m a big fan of this range of vintage DayDates.
If they want zero hassle, best bet is to get offers from a couple resellers. Bob’s Watches and Tourneau both do this. They’re not going to “rip you off” on price, but you are going to give them a discount in exchange for their reliability and speed.
Hard to tell based on photos, but if watch is working and not beaten to hell I think $14-18k is what I’d be expecting to pay for a used model like this. Box and papers would add some value - maybe an extra $1-2k.
Prob 10-12k sell to grey market dealer. Or 15k private sale. Here’s an estimate of what Bob’s Watches would buy for
Folks, I am not asking anyone to buy or anything here. Just need to know the process to sell one of these things. Got a reco for Chrono 24 from another bowl that he will try. Are there others? Is there something he should do before listing it? Any idea how much something like this should cost? That’s it. Not selling to anyone here.
Do you have box and papers?
Yep. That’s the move
