I was wondering how much stainless steel ones go for now? The early ones like 501 and 505 movements.. I see these prices on the ones from Japan going for big money but not much available anywhere else, is that the going prices? Are ones that are presentable go for closer to two grand or three?
market atm is 1200 - 2500 at auction
This one is a redial.
And I think it has a replacement seconds hand.

That's the thing.. people here say they should be going for around two grand, but you can't find anything for that price that is remotely attractive.. I don't get it, many other watches like Rolex and moon watches have gone up so much, it feels like nobody wants to admit that this watch has too.. it feels like denial..lol!
I'm just wondering, I have one that is not near as perfect condition, patina, but is very attractive and all original, every six months or so I come here to see if the price ever went up.. but it never seems like it does and meanwhile there is never any for sale...
So I will check back in six months or so..
I'm not gonna sell ever.. I just want my baby to be appreciated more that is all.. I would never sell it.
Picture 😉
This is where condition condition condition comes in. Great condition watches appreciate more than average condition.
A perfect condition arrow marker Constellation is a grail and not traded as much as some others.
it is on a early version sliding clasp.
Is that a Jacoby-Bender "Champion"?
