I'm not in the market, but just noticed this recent posting on another forum.

I have no affiliation with the seller, so do your own due diligence. It is claimed to be a one owner watch, and looks interesting…

Wow---really nice.

 

The lume looks a little fuzzy close-up. Can someone more knowledgeable on the matter comment on whether or not this is likely to be a re-lume?

 

Do you think he values his SM 300 equally to a Rolex 1680?

 

At 4850usd, I'd say he just about does.
Looks good from the photos but certainly expensive.

 

That's lovely but rather expensive IMHO

 

I'm told it went for 4650, which is still fairly high but hey, if you want it you want it.

 

I'm such an idiot I thought 4850.00 was a reference number he was willing to trade for....lsimilar to the 1680!

 

More similar to a 5513 than 1680. But where do you find 1680's in this condition for $4850?

And where do you buy 165.024's that look this good for less than $4500...most on the market look like crap or are pieced together. This also has an original bracelet. You rarely see nice ones for sale anymore.

 

Stupid me didn´t buy a beautiful example of a 165.024 with very similar patina to the OP´s watch about 2 years ago, We were haggling around the €2200 mark and I didn´t want to pay more than €2000 so left it....

....hindsight, isn´t it a wonderful thing?

 

A man got to have principles, no?

 

That's Captain Hindsight to you, mister!

 

very nice

 

good seller as well. nice watch
