Anyone get this? Really liked it but the seller wouldn't send movement images and no replies. Looks really nice though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-...NeJibKEvFI%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=ncPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I have bid as well. The price raised too high too fast! It went from around 1150€ to 2200€+ in the last 15 seconds.
Also from the other thread: In today's market one has to accept that buying a good one is going to hurt and be prepared to pay accordingly. Just be thankful that it won't hurt anything like as much as buying a good pre-moon Speedmaster!
Last time when I saw one I bid in the last 3 seconds with a max bid of EUR 2800 (or in that neighbourhood). Just to be sure. I've accepted that these dont come cheap. For me personally these black dial 2852's are the most desirable.
I've yet to see a Pie Pan in person and can only talk from the pictures I've seen online, but my favorite would be a stainless steel one with gold arrowhead indicators and white (cream?) waffle dial Although I must say yours come pretty close in the list.
This is one of those watches where you bid without any movement or inside caseback photos. 90% of the value of this watch lies with the dial.
appeared to me some/alot of moisture spoiled the value of that dial and with clever manipulation and angles, the seller masked it somewhat. Can't wait to see inside and be proven misguided again.
There could very well be moisture damage to the movement or even the inner caseback but that doesn't change the value of the watch much - the only relevant detail here as you pointed out is that the dial is damaged. You could sell this as dial alone without anything else and the price realized would be maybe 10% lower.
I'd have guessed more, so I assume the dials are just not to be had, and damaged is always better than absent.
