Here are a couple recent eBay sales. Note both these have an original bracelet. The $1,999 one was what I would consider a very good price.

Dial and hands on your example have some condition issues and I personally don't think the MEISTER dial adds any value.

rough shape...water damage, heavily polished.
I would look at the movement, but its a pass for me.

I like it too, but don't the sides of the case seem to be in much better shape than the bezel and the case back?
I'm just wondering if some refinishing occurred here... I'm certainly no expert... Just caught my attention.

Does not look to be damaged!

The damage on the rim of the dial is pretty much text book water damage. Looks like it was flooded at some point; movement probably saved in time or swapped.

Case has most definitely been polished/refinished.

Looking at the dial and hands, i would go with the assumption the movement has been swapped. An EoA would help in this case to confirm the movement.
