    This is an auction sale so before making a journey to preview was hoping some may be able to offer some opinions on this piece and the perennial question as to value. The auctioneers have the usual come and buy me guide price and searching the net prices seem all over the shop.
    One last pointer it is listed with box, guarantee card etc.
    Sorry not a great photo.

    Ah well...

    It looks like an automatic of fairly recent vintage, so I can't imagine it having a replacement dial, hands, etc. I would go through the recent ebay auctions and see what others with that dial configuration have gone for. Can't imagine it would be north of $2500USD, although they will try to argue that box/papers etc should siginificantly up the value.

    I'd be very wary, there are many fakes of this model around.

    If that's an authentic 3211.30 it's a steal at $600 and a very good buy at $800. I like that model - it's a nice fit for me - but already have my perfect Valjoux 7750 watch.

    Good luck, hope it turns out to be real! I think they usually go for 1200 give or take.

    I saw similar pre owned item offered for USD 1400 in here.
    Definitely a steal at USD 800 as long as it's full original and no problem with the movement. Silver deal looks very nice.
