2384-1 from WWII on eBay

[Annapolis]

You can see the listing here—it’s a Buy It Now for $1750 obo.

No real provenance as far as I can see, other than the seller’s story (which I have no reason to doubt) and a photograph. Cool if this is legit.

No movement shot. Don’t think this is for me, but wondering what the experts think about it.

Its legit but the buy now-price has risen considerably meanwhile 🙁

edit: wrong impression because I watched it on German ebay - see my later comment...

People must have been asking if he’s got service documents.

 

[Servius]

Maybe he saw this 😉



Never realised that US ARMY markings were different for those references...

Watch looks good to me from the outside.

And yes, the engravings are different between the Ref. 2384 and 2179, both of which have the same dial for the US Army versions.

I have the 'civillian' issue 2179, great piece.

I’m still seeing the same—1750.

This is what I see:



I wonder if this is an eBay option to charge more on a BIN listing sold outside the U.S.

I know the reason:

When I watch it on ebay.at or ebay.de (EU) the price is much higher because the import VAT of 20% is already factored in the final price.
This is what I see



When I watch it on ebay.com it is still at $1750

this f***g ebay

The German eBay devs are just trying to be excessively efficient lol

Reasonable price for that watch?
