Private seller on Chrono24, price is $1,370 negotiable, no service history, no movement photos. I could ask, but if you find it to be overpriced or of no value, I won't bother.
As always, your input would be greatly appreciated!

Looks nice. To me seems to have original dial, lume is intact and case seems unpolished.

Little bit more money than I just paid for mine. But mine only had worn out strap and I think I got better than average deal. Paid $1070 for this. Everything working, but low'ish amplitude, so will go to service.

IMO, thats a bit overpriced, and about a $750 service is obviously going to be needed right away. Case looks unpolished and crisp, though worn. Original strap is neat, but obviously torn it apperas.

Dial + hands look nice too.

IMO, the grey dial is the lost value of the chronostops, and this isn't a 'driver'. I don't think I'd pay more than ~$950 for one unless it had box/papers/fresh-service/etc (Driver adds ~150 to that for me, rarer dial varies), but this is kinda 'basic'.

I have often wondered why Chronostops have such low price point on average. Maybe it's the dial color like you suggested. Though I find their grey tone going well together with lots of different outfits.

I personally ALSO like the grey ones! I hear blue is gorgeous, but I've never seen one in person.

Frankly, I think they are under-loved/under-rated, but I suspect they'll stay that way. They are nifty, but the lack of a running seconds hand, and the fairly useless chronograph configuration make them more of a 'style' thing than a useful complication.

Yep, that's all true.

sort of positive cause it's unique and not common type of flat level dial. can't comment on the price though.
