Am I missing something on the analog/shift 145.012-67 ?

I usually like the items put up by analog/shift and think their prices are decent for a dealer (they also happen to be very nice people). I know they put up some pieces on consignment so they have to list a piece based on whomever they're selling for but they put up a 145.012 for $11K that seems just a bit north of sellable.

Here's my breakdown:
- all original and correct parts with the exception of the crown (which I don't really care about much)
- case looks pretty nice but has a good amount of wear and some pitting/corrosion especially between the lugs.
- doesn't appear polished
- dial lume is original but looks to be flaking or at least very retracted and not turning the nicest color yellow
- dial itself is nice, not 'tropical' or anything from what I can tell
- hands are original but are missing lume with the remainder turning brown
- bezel is DON and very good condition
- no original bracelet but a JB Champion is included
- no box/papers

All together a decent example by any means but again, based on their previous pricing and current trends, seems optimistic.

Would love you hear your considered thoughts, as always. Cheers,
Andrew

I think those prices you quoted are for the 105.012 reference. The collector price listed for 145.012 is $9k and the good is $6.5k. I think we can all agree that even with their fancy website, write-up, and marketing that $11k is a bit of a reach. It'll be interesting to see what they get for it.

11K is collectors grade. This one is not, but bought from a dealer.
If we are being a bit kind to it i would say it rates as "Good" condition. That is listed at 9k. Include a dealers premium and it is not too far of target.[/QUOTE]

Northernman I think you are looking at the wrong watch. The price you are listing are for 105.012, but Analog/Shift is selling a 145.012. The price in my opinion is very high.
