·The first Rolex were produced with Bucherer. They taught Rolex a great deal about watchmaking. Great watches.
How come Bucherer is generally un-loved?

That's Valjoux 72 powered isn't it? Very nice! And I imagine worth a bit more than your standard Bucherer!

·A local watch seller has a nice Bucherer chronometer for sale and as much as I love the look of the watch, he's asking $265 CAD which is a bit much for what's there.

Sadly it's a local antique mall and customers aren't permitted to take pictures.

Just ask for the service history and then bring a $80 or so service price onto the negotiations.
Anything around USD 150 to 200 is OK

I didn't realize the Bucherer chronometers were worth so much. I might have to take another look at it.

The only difference between this bucherer and a v72 Rolex is a bunch of zeros. A whole bunch.
Frankly, the bucherer is more aesthetically pleasing...
BTW - anyone here plan on bidding on Paul Newman's Paul Newman? 10 million + lol

One day at a time brother, one day.
Yeah, I realized that I enjoy finding certain watches more than I even like wearing 'em. Thankfully, Bucherer is a pretty inexpensive and harmless addiction.
Hope things are well in your literal other end of the world. Looks like the $AUD$ is starting to wake up - just in time for you crazy aussies to start driving up vintage prices (again!!)

·Hmmm...I just had my first ever auction fight over a Plain Jane day-date.
A welcome and refreshing twist (I lost!)
