Is this Transitional worth €12,000?

Hope that's not a bad omen...."006-11-16 14:58:00 PST -- Nobel Prize-winner Milton Friedman, who passed away Thursday in San Francisco at age 94, wore a really crappy wristwatch.".....

I get what some members say when they refer to future prices. Not as criticism but as example, Tom Dick says, "...the price is what someone is willing to pay, was a 105.003 worth $10K+ two years ago? No! But it is now....." And, yes, true in hindsight - but to be clear, just as you would not value a business on possible future earnings I don't think an ambitious price can be justified in a similar manner. The question any astute buyer will ask is, does the price reflect its "current and true" value in relation to similar examples sold today? Personally I wouldn't pay more than between USD7500 - USD8500 (AUD11300) considering what I have seen of the seller's watch (and guaranteed that the bezel isn't even now mildly twisted ) and even then I need to be convinced as the presentation lacks something of conviction. Anyways, as for the asking price of USD13500 (AUD18000) I'll certainly leave that to those who have bigger and better crystal balls. 🙄

nope, j just think you have over priced something massively. I am sure you will deliver the watch. So I don't think you are a scammer. And also, I think this overpricing is out of character, based on other things you sell.

I am a trader and spend most of my days at the moment telling, or being told something is overpriced. Then discussing.

If you and I were across a table I doubt you would be wound up. No my real issue is your entrenched defence of the price without evidence.

Now the real question is this:

@Kwijibo : you are a collector, why have you not bought your friends watch if it is such a good buy? I am really curious why you do not buy it.
