    23% premium takes it to £8610. Is that a good price? I'm not sure where the values for these are now.

    Thats like 11k USD. Probably right on the money with the 6s and 7912

    I think it's a couple of grand below where it should have been and with some tlc it could be worth a lot more ... if I hadn't been unwell, I'd have been bumping that price up.

    Reasonable I'd say. It's not a great example as the lume in the markers isn't the most attractive and it's hard to be sure if other marks are on the crystal or dial. The case looks good though and the bezel will look better after a clean (some if the marks around the inner edge look like dirt, not damage).

    It's not a steal by any means, but if the dial is better in real life, it's not bad for the overall package.

    Looking at the prices being asked, I'm sure you're right. Personally I would have concerns about the dial as Davidt has mentioned, especially if it was going to be a keeper. I guess you could swap it for a better one, but those are getting hard to find.

    Because threads are useless without pics, this is the watch in question.

    Just based on that pic, not a very attractive example - plots, hands, and bezel all not to my liking - and is that chrono sweep a replacement ?

    I would like to see if that scratch on the hour subdial is from the crystal or on the watch, that'd effect it quite a bit. Bezel and hands are grimy but not the worst. But it was a -64 and I'm sure it looks better in person - @DLT222 - would be great to have you or your friend take some pictures for us in natural light. Also, with the 3+ K USD from the end links/bracelet I don't think it was a bad buy by any means. One question though, is the penumbra around the minute subdial looking brown-tinted to anyone else ? ... ;)

    penumbra? I think you've been out in the sun too long.

    @gemini4 - yeah, I got a bit dizzy staring at pictures of your giant collection of speedys :thumbsup: I was almost expecting you to say you picked this one up too!

    Thanks @DLT222 - appreciate it!

    Not me. Seems like a good value for these days. I believe the #6 links are legit. An issue is one pusher is the wrong size. Congtats to the buyer!
