This is a white gold with original black dial that I know.

Can't tell by the picture if that's original or painted. I bet the watch you posted can go as high as 10k or even more if it's really original!

It was sold to a guy in Vietnam for $10k then re sold for $6k

By looking at the picture, it not a pie pan, it's a crosshair. Am I correct?

For this particular watch that sold for 2300 euros, if the new owner can swap the dial like one of the members suggested above. This will be a very very nice watch IMO. Tremendous potentials!

Wow this is a true beauty! Black dial crosshair white gold 185.006. Thanks for sharing! It is "a once in a lifetime" opportunity to own this constellation!

I must have this collecting thing wrong, I thought the best strategy was to buy high and then sell even higher.😁

Probably the owner desperately needs money at that time

Case looks OK to me. Just polished heavily.

However, the dial is not original. My guess is that the buyer negotiated a price outside of eBay.

The buyer should spend a fraction of the price on a steel version with a nice dial and do a swap. They'll get most of the price of the steel watch back on a second sale, and the white gold one will be worth far more with an original dial.

Check back in a couple of months.

I think that's what the new owner is going to do. He only paid 2300 euros. By swapping the dial, this watch will have huge potential!

Sounds like you know who is the new owner.

It is someone who hangs out here?

No I don't. Someone above said it was sold for 2300 euros on ebay. I was following this auction on ebay, but it was ended by the seller. I am jealous of whoever bought the watch.

Depends on where you live.
Some cultures consider gold (yellow and rose) as richness and prosperity, white gold looks like SS and considered as poor and popular.
When you buy white gold from ebay then bring it to a place where white gold equals SS and nobody pays attention to it, you have to sell for less. A lesson to learn right there.

Yes. White gold was out of style then. Probably special order only.
