Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
This commemorative wristwatch is a collectible piece of NFL memorabilia from the 1991 Pro Bowl in Hawaii. While the materials are typical of promotional sports watches and the market for such items is generally niche, the watch's appeal is strongest to football memorabilia collectors, especially those focused on Pro Bowl, NFL, or Hawaii sports events. Watches in similar condition with original boxes are somewhat uncommon and may carry a premium among specialized collectors. A word about fakes: In the world of sports memorabilia, counterfeit or unauthorized watches are not as prevalent as with autographed items, but caution is always advised, especially for pieces featuring licensed logos or limited edition status. As this appears to be an official style token (without added rarity factors like solid gold or personalization), its monetary value remains moderate but its nostalgia and collector appeal are solid.
Individual Images:
The close-up image emphasizes the gold-tone dial and sharp details of the football player relief. The box interior and hinge suggest a presentation case suitable for gifts or awards. No visible signs of heavy wear or damage are apparent on either the watch or band
though some lint/dust is present in the box. No maker's mark is visible on the watch face or crown from this angle
which is not uncommon for promotional commemorative pieces.
Provenance:
No provenance documents provided.
Condition:
Very Good (light wear, includes original box, not professionally serviced)
Identification Score: 98%
The date, design, and verbiage ('AFC 1991 NFC Pro Bowl Hawaii') make this a highly specific and easily identifiable collectible watch related to the 1991 NFL Pro Bowl game, confirmed by the distinct style and iconography.
Authenticity Score: 85%
The watch shows appropriate design, wear, and production quality for NFL promotional memorabilia of this era. However, the absence of visible manufacturer marks or licensing logos makes it prudent to allow for the small possibility of an unofficial or reissued version.
