What a unique watch. Can anyone tell me it's worth
Hello. I found this watch which seems unique but I am unable to find even if it's worth it or not. Can anyone please tell me how much is it worth in good used condition?

Based on that picture and a visit to the website I figure it's worth very little, if anything.
Likely worth the scrap of the metal or if there is a willing buyer very little, like give me $100 to get it out my inventory little. This was likey was a Girard Perregaux Richeville (homage/replica?) at one point. If I am not mistaken (very well could be) they made a few aftermarket iced out watches they then tried to sell on FB. They were not around very long, so do with that info what you will.

Hello. Thanks for the comment. I wanted to ask you more because they say it has paved diamonds. Can you please guide me that if it's worth more?

“Pave” in the world of watches means different things to different makers. To start, diamonds, short of exceptional examples, are essentially worthless once they leave the store. Their scraps? Even more so. I don’t know this jeweler from the next, but for those that ice out watches like this, they are buying essentially scrap loose diamonds and using them on jewelry. You can search online for loose pave diamonds and buy hundreds for less than a basic GShock.
This process can cost a lot to do because of the labor, not the diamonds. Just like the dude that ruins their car with bad mods, most people don’t care that someone spent the money on the labor if the mods ruined the car, or in this case watch.
As a whole, it is frowned upon when they take said diamonds and essentially destroy a watch to put them on it. Many people love the look, awesome. It’s not my thing, but we all have different tastes, but as a whole, unless you find someone that doesn’t know better who’s willing to pay for it, the rest of the watch buying community sees it as largely worthless and most watch buyers won’t touch them.
For this watch, maybe a couple hundred dollars on a good day. I still wouldn’t for $100, but again, not my thing.
This is definitely a Technomarine homage. Prob worth the price of the stones.
