Navigating EBay/Chrono land mines

Hi all, i really love the look of the Seamaster 166.024 and have been actively looking for a decent one on the forums/ EBay and Chrono.com. However, the prices seem to be all over the place. I get that the Watchcos are going to be a lot cheaper but I’m seeing what look like original 300s in the $5k to $7k range. Should I assume that anything in that range is not original and move on or have prices for vintage 300s come down that much?

I think a good SM300 with attractive lume/bezel etc and in overall good condition can just about be found for $7k. Average examples a can obviously be found for less.

Nice, except it’s already sold

Sorry. The seller didn't bother to change the title prefix to sold.
