Great tip @afire.
I'll keep an eye out for something period-correct. $1100 for a 14k watch chain seems like lunacy.
Also, in looking at auctions online, it's really hard to judge between yellow and green gold in photos. Rose and white gold are easy to differentiate, but I'm seeing greens on yellow gold auctions and yellows in green gold auction. I'm browsing on a color-corrected monitor, but there is a ton of variability in lighting between eBay sellers. Fun stuff.
I think that you're right about seller knowledge, too. I was barely aware that something called green gold existed, but didn't realize that it had been used in watch cases until a week or so ago. It's probably fair to expect that sellers are going to lump it in with yellow gold or, if they know what it is, charge a premium for green gold.
Thanks!
