    Over polished, over re-dialed and over priced.

    Thanks, what do you mean by over re-dialed? What should I be looking for?

    I think if you search for "re-dial" in this forum you will find thousands of posts.
    In extent it means it has been repainted/restored and hence is no longer original to the watch. This again depreciates the value tremendously for collectors.
    eBay is a dangerous place to fish for beginners.
    If I was you I would rather look around in the private sales section on this forum. The value for money is in a different league when purchasing from a collector rather than a professional dealer.
    Nothing wrong with dealers, but in the (e)bay there are several notorious tricksters.

    Thank you very much. I'm going to keep looking. Any recommendations on pricing? As fast as what's a good price?

    For that specific model I would not know, but it is generally down to three things: Condition, condition and condition.
    Spend time on the forum, see what comes up for sale, and not at least follow the many informed discussions around here.
    It takes some time to get into this! :)

    I'm a newbie so I was wondering what the tapers think. The case look like it had not been polished

    correct... do you even know the reference? the caliber? or are you just browsing through ebay till you just find something you fancy?

    Just browsing. His appears to be at a pawn shop. What questions would you ask? Thanks for the help. Would you say his is worth pursuing?

    I say this because the first one you posted is completely different than the second one...
