    Can't see any reason for paying $437 for this watch. Case in terrible condition and no movement image, but even if movement was in nice condition. Still wouldn't be worth the paid price.

    I was looking to buy for the movement (cases like this get tossed), but lost interest after it hit a set price and no image to gauge movement condition.

    I've seen dials on these go for $200 and up and the condition of this one looks pretty good. If the movement is salvageable, the price is OK for today's high market.

    However, finding a case would be a challenge and the total cost would be more than its value.

    It might have actually sold for that price - or keep an eye out for it to be relisted because of "non-payment" (read: the shill bidder won).

    Even if you need parts - still way too much. I sold a parts movement last year for about $55 incomplete

    High bidder did have large feedback, but still doesn't mean he wasn't a shill for the seller

    Joe's link is a nice one, but again no movement image. Could be a rust shop inside there

    Just can't get a good deal anymore. Long for the older days when you can actually get somethings for really good prices

    Actually had the OPs watch on my list for the dial alone, agree it went for too much, but if you need a dial, you need a dial.
