People on this page in the last day or so talking about $200 buys too. What I'm seeing on eBay is listed in the $4k range.
Probably because nobody knows how to pronounce it. I've been pronouncing it wrong this whole time and even correcting people saying it right. So yeah, I'm done with the brand.

Watch enthusiasts enthusiastically bid up prices on any and every chronometer (not named Bucherer).
Over my many years of "collecting" I've bought Mint+ Bucherer Chronometers of all sorts; many are true NOS which keep time to a second or two and nobody cares. I never start out looking for Bucherer but once in a while I can't resist the siren song.
Vintage Bucherer is a lazy, completely unmotivated market. Good thing you buy these watches for the price of a carton of cigarettes or I'd be bust-o.
I wear many of these and enjoy them and that really should be all that matters. But, I'm a human bean and sometimes get frustrated at...reality.
Did I miss the memo on Bucherer? Was the company part of an international conspiracy for kiddie porn or human organ trafficking or something?

I was told you might want a look at this 32mm I inherited. I know almost nothing about it and neither did CFB. Lol. Tried to have it serviced but the crown retention screw won't budge. Still runs well even if it's hard to find the tiny thing.
It’s from around the 1960s-70s judging by the logo style. I do t doubt CFB didn’t know much about it, Bucherer produced tons of models in many price ranges over the years. You are probably looking at restoration options only for servicing. If the case back is steel then it is gold plated, otherwise full gold. Should be stamped somewhere too. Cool piece!
