So against my better judgement I sold my completely vintage but beat up 165.024 (serviced, sans bracelet) for just over $4100. I am starting to regret it. Any chance I can get another one (preferably in good shape) with that money? Took me almost a year to source mine.

Edit:
Wait a minute - with that money I can get into a SM300 re-issue right?

 

Yep, if you're patient, used ones are starting to dip below the $4000 mark. They don't come up for sale that often yet, but one will soon.

Of course, new ones were often on offer for $4300.... maybe try @Kringkily, see if he can get one for around that level

 

Ah my bad, thought "re-issue" meant the new Master Co-Axial. Looks like the Watchcos are starting to hit mid-3's now though

 

I did mean Master Co Axial Currently not interested in WatchCos unless the prices goes down to SMP levels.

 

Good deal then I'd say the best course of action would be to set a WatchRecon alert - they don't go fast until they're below $4k.

 

If you like vintage maybe you should get the 2913 the new on is based on. This one is on my some day list.

 

What sort of damage am I looking at here?

 

ummm.. like 10-12k

 

I think you will have a hard time finding new Master Co-Axial for 4,1k, more like 4,3-4,5k

 

Naw, right now you can have an early, lollipop-hand 2913 on original bracelet for less than 10k. I'd say one like that posted would be maybe 8, if the bracelet were original (7912 / 6)

You can have one new from a grey seller for US $4300, but used ones are dipping below US$ 4000. They do go quickly at that price, though.

 

If I had an example like that, I'd offer myself $8k right now!

...wait

Yeah, you're probably right. There's that LunarOyster 2913 lollipop that I based my estimate on, but the lume on that one isn't particularly desirable so maybe the "bad lume" discount is stronger on that one than I thought.
