HISTORY:
“We see lots of watches from watch companies, and lots of watches from fashion companies, but we rarely see watches from jewelry companies. For whatever reason, there aren’t a lot of companies that specialize in jewelry that also make and/or sell watches. That makes Porsamo Bleu watches an interesting exception. The company was founded in Los Angeles via a partnership of two longtime jewelers. Porsamo Bleu watches is a partnership between third generation jeweler Moe Afshar and his creative partner Krisztina Csupo. They strive to make attractive jewelry that’s unique in styling while affordable in price. They make and sell bracelets, earrings, necklaces, and watches, with attractive styling and affordable pricing.”
PRICING:
~https://porsamobleu.com/products/porsamo-bleu-cancun-luxury-chronograph-mens-watch-silicone-strap-gold-black-063ccar (retail price for this watch is $859, set by Porsamo Bleu)
~https://www.shophq.com/Product/porsamo-bleu-men-s-45mm-cancun-swiss-quartz-chronograph-black-leather-strap-watch/661-053 (priced to the public @175)
~https://www.nordstromrack.com/shop/product/3170791/porsamo-bleu-mens-cancun-swiss-quartz-leather-strap-watch-45-mm?color=BLACK-GOLD (similar watch priced to the public @200.
The fair market value (which is hardly established at this point) appears to me to be in that $175-$200 range despite the Porsamo retail price. It can be as high as $2000 retail if ordered from California and shipped to Kazakhstan, so everything is relative.
At any rate it has not appeared in any numbers on auction sites so the best way to judge fair market is simply from buying it on Amazon or similar outlets. The retail on our MEARTO website automatically doubles the fair market value so I want you to know that the watch is priced retail by the company for $859.
I hope I have explained all necessary for your watch and for you. Thank you for choosing mearto.com.
My best,
David
Hello Chad,
Thank you for sending in your watch to mearto.com for an appraisal. A tropical storm just blew through New Jersey and took out my power. So I have temporarily lost my computers. It seems like the loss of electricity is fairly widespread so I do not know how long this will last.
I will get your appraisal done when power returns, so I ask for your patience in the timing of this appraisal.
If this appraisal is an emergency, let me know and I will have someone else do that for you.
In the meantime, a photo of the back cover would assist me in this appraisal.
My best,
David
Please let me know when I can expect my appraisal.
Thank you.
Should be able to get to it today.

David,
Unfortunately I am out of town so I am unable to upload a picture of the back of the watch.
And please don’t worry about the delay, I’m very familiar with computer issues myself.
Looking forward to getting back your appraisal as soon as you have the opportunity to complete it.
Thank you,
Chad
