Hello,to everyone. I want to buy this Lip Elgiloy..I find him beautiful,35mm case without crown. What value could have,? Thanks in advance,to all who wants to express their opinion.
My google-fu shows it to be between $650 and & $1000. Not sure what your local currency is but I wouldn’t pay more than that.
Nice watch, cool dial. Steel elgiloys in good shape are not that common. Unserviced, worth 50-150eur maybe. Beware, lip R25s are tough but when run unserviced for a long time, prone to barrel bridge wear. Bushing and servicing would cost more than the watch. edit: also, if I remember well this case needs 17mm bracelets.
I think it may be because the watch is uncommon and therefore there are no easy benchmarks to compare against. If there had been multiple eBay auctions over the last few months you probably would not be asking here. It’s a nice watch and I would consider it at about US$500, but this is just my personal opinion, and the two posters above gave theirs.
It's a nice example of a typically undervalued model. Other than chronographs, vintage LIP rarely bring big money. The case size and dial are plusses, but the lume loss hurts. Probably worth around $400-500 at best, assuming that the case back and movement are not seriously flawed. Here's a similar one that I own.
I'm in France, such Lip models aren't particularly rare or valuable here. Price depends on location...
