Last time I've checked it it was $440 and wow, auction ended on $1,825. Isn't it too much or I'm not understanding something about this watch?

I know that people are passionate for Black dial but it looks overpriced for me too, is it a special one ?

At 37mm it was definitely not over priced.
I think the buyer did really well tbh.
Find another another for sale....and then that’s for sale and cheaper.

I was watching both of these auctions, the 37mm was not interesting to me, but then again perhaps the pictures just did not do it justice. It will be interesting to see if someone here won it and I just lost out on a beauty! haha

The 31mm on the other hand that the second poster shows, was a lovely watch right up my alley. But yes, only 31mm. Now had that been 37mm, I would have bid, well any size 33mm and over and I would have bid. It was just too much of a gamble for me to buy something so small. I'm very happy with my 32.5mm 2292, but then feel my 33mm 2364 is a little small. I guess a lot of it comes down to the thickness of the bezel. This 31mm had a very thin bezel so I was tempted. Very tempted. Would be interesting to see one of these in person 😀

Regarding the 37mm, I don't think the price was high. In fact if I bought this model, which I presume is the 859 or a similar variant, for that price I'd be very happy (providing it was a dial I found attractive).

That's an uber-rare "Etch-A-Sketch" model!

i'd be nervous that wasn't stable enough to wear, i.e. daily use would knock of the flakes of paint.

I agree, those flakes of paint make me uncomfortable too👎

Seller said it is 37.5mm and from what I see, it is a gilt dial.

Agree, looks like a galvanic dial to me as well and the lacquer seems to be intact as well. I bet it looks great I hand. Hopefully we will see a it pop up on the forum with some decent photos.

...not an 859, could be a 2181...
