I was going through my sterling stuff getting Market Harmony another package ready :-) and found a watch I had picked up at a yard sale a couple years ago for $1.

It has the credit suisse face and says 1/10 ounce 999 silver

The back of the watch says:

Sutton Quartz
Base Metal Bezel
Stainless steel back
20/2319
5FQ
Japan Movement

Is this really 1/10 ounce silver or is this just a replica of a Credit Suisse Bar? I tried to find one on ebay and can't find a watch like this.

Yes those are real.

As a watch collecter I have seen those, the platinum and gold bar ones are more popular. But it should be worth more (and cooler) as a watch.

Because its quartz you should be able to pop a battery in there and it should fire right up!

Hope this helps

Well the maker and brand are 'generic' as well call them in the watch hobby and do not carry a premium like Omega, etc. The Japanese movement is standard as well.

But in running shape I assume something like $25-50 could be achievable on ebay. I do not do much with modern quartz watches as I deal more with the wind up styles.

One gram gold Credit suisse bar watches are $150 buy it now currently on ebay.
