...or do I just not understand the market? Thoughts?

It is expensive but not crazy I guess (well frankly I am not familiar with vintage Seamaster diver pricing.....)
......Rolex sports vintage pricing on the other hand.........

 

thats what the nice ones have been getting lately.

the watch itself could easily sell for 7-8k or even more if the bezel is actually original. I think its a Aldo piece though.
The second bezel could sell for a serious amount if two bidders were involved.

 

I'm not sure about the value of the case front but lets say $500, then the damaged original bezel must be worth in the region of $750 - $1000.

So there is also a 7912/transitional 7077, I couldnt tell from the pictures but call it $500 as it has later ends.

That's $1850 ish on the extras putting the head at about $8000.

Doesn't sound too unreasonable to me. The last decent 14755 on Ebay went for I think around €5000.

 

if thats a 7077 then its worth more than $500 even without end links.

 

It has single stretch links so can only possibly be the 7077 transitional version with the same clasp but single instead of double links.

I agree were it to be a 7077 with double links the value would be higher

 

Also these early 300's had been trading for years around the $5k mark where all around them their compatriots from exactly the same period, the Railmasters and early 60's Speedmasters have been going through the roof.

Simply a game of catch up and the days of finding a 2913 on a forum or Ebay listing for $5K I think are long gone.

 

And does that pricing apply to early 14755's too?

 

Why not, as good as the same watch. So any 2913 rise will filter through as a ratio rise to the 14755

 

Do you think the prices would still be as high if it wasn't for the modern reissue?

 

Hi

These 2913's & 14755's are long overdue a catchup in value....reissued or not !

I think you will be struggling to find a 'nice' example 2913 for £5k GBP let alone $5k USD....if we start talking about a really good example Watch which ticks all the right boxes then I think we could be up around the £7.5k GBP level.

All IMHO -

Well look at that

Last one I saw traded much, much cheaper:

I should, perhaps, add that it never arrived. Lo and behold, seller tripped and fell, watch broken, well you all know the story...

 

Hope you bagged that one! !

 

Oh no! Missed this!

 

Not surprised Larry....it's a bits ' n ' pieces !

Looks like one of those supposed 'transitional' 165.014's with the 14755 hand set.

What do you think?

 

It's a prototype....and I'm off to bed
