ebay seller has described dial as repainted, limits value to collectors, but fine for use as an occasional wearer

 

thank you peatnick! but does the price sound reasonable?

 

Seems a bit high, similar one sold $280 last week

wow thats a beautiful piece! thanks peatnick really appreciate it!

 

I'd also say it's over-priced. I paid just under US$ 300 for the example in the "Before" pics in this thread:

When I took it in for service, the watchmaker was genuinely surprised/impressed with the hands and dial (so these were kept), and he said the movement was in much better condition than he usually sees. The case wasn't so good and some marks remain post-service.

So, I'd say if you could get a couple of hundred knocked off, it might be worth considering that example you have your eye on...
