For that sort of price, I’d definitely want better photos plus details and proof of service.
Also the case looks worn in parts between 6-7 and probably elsewhere and the crown looks wrong and a different colour to the case.
I’d pass on what you’ve posted so far
It’s too much for that watch.
As an indicator I recently sold the same ref in steel, in better condition, with original bracelet and recent documented service for £950.
May I ask what country you’re in?

@dsio posts good finds on eBay there and gold-capped SMDVs are regularly among them, ending at roughly half the price you’re quoting. The example by @Davidt included a bracelet, worth ~200$ or so, and a recent service that was likely also a couple hundred quid, for about 1100€. Also note: These aren’t uncommon. Doesn’t take too much patience to find a nice one for a better price I’d say - you will have to invest some time, though.
I can assure you most on chrono listed for 1400€ aren’t selling at that price. Even those that are should have a bracelet and/or be serviced (ideally both).
it really comes back to being able to have 2 out of the following 3 criteria, but rarely all 3:
1. Watch in good condition
2. Watch at good price
3. Watch available immediately.
The right place to buy these is NOT Ch24!
You need to look at either eBay or auction houses.
This one is for sale at the moment at a Danish auction, estimated value is €540. With auction house fees this would be €675.
