    Very beautiful piece, but IMHO its overpriced. The store is in germany.
    Maybe its because of the world cup...
    $11,839.00 at chrono24.

    Why did they stop cleaning the dial?

    It’s expensive to cover the fees for selling on Chrono24.

    The rotor color is much pinker than the rest of the movement. I think it’s a replacement.

    Expensive, for sure. But what price do you put on a solid 18k BOR from the period? They're pretty scarce so you have to probably double the gold value in price for the bracelet. Watch head is not the sharpest I've seen but that stepped dial could be carefully cleaned by an expert because it looks to me that it's only the lacquer that's degraded. Looking at the Global internet market for similar models in that condition I think I would want to pay no more than 3500 for the head. So, even with the bracelet it's looking expensive

    Why?

    That price seems fair. The listing at Chrono24 could be outdated, or it could be the buyer in that auction is trying to make a quick buck.

    The reason that I do not trust it is because the same seller is also selling at the chrono24. So, I suppose that he was also the buyer using a different user id, a commom practice just to make the price going up. As nobody outbidded him, he is selling it again.

    Ah, that old and preferred tactic, "Our watch is A1A, the best example you can ever hope to own, in fact you should be eternally happy and feel greatly honoured that we are even contemplating selling it to you. Your watch(es) on the other hand are s**t, worthless pieces of s**t, and you should be eternally happy and feel greatly honoured that we are even contemplating trading them with you at 3 to 1 plus cash from your side, blah, blah...."

    ....remind me again why I don't deal with dealers :rolleyes:

    That's just where they've polished it back to remove the evidence of it rubbing on the caseback when the rotor bush failed ;)
