If you’re in the UK maybe 800-850 quid, the 9K gold ones have gone in the 500-600 quid range in nice shape in the past, this should carry a decent premium over that and is a nice example. I would not bid on it if outside of the UK for import duty reasons, but for a UK buyer who isn’t paying VAT or anything on it, that price makes sense imo.
The highest bid was £870 in the end, and went for £770 I think
Winning bid was 1095 quid, which is a bit high for a Geneve even in the UK, there will be more for sure
Thanks, I did get it! My total with tax and shipping comes to $488. Happy with the price.
Ok, back from a long drive home from NYC to see my son (lower Manhattan). I was actually bidding on this in the final minutes while sitting in Katz’s Delicatessen to eat, quite possibly, the world’s best pastrami on rye. Cool times for sure. Glad you got the watch!
Aww. If you still want it at the closing price, I'm happy to sell it to you at the exact price I paid with no profit to me. Guess it would just be the shipping cost added to ship from California. I could take more pics once I get it in hand so you can decide.
Very gracious of you! I’ll find the right watch to gift him. Enjoy it and wear it knowing a friend was having a fabulous time and sandwich with his son and family while the bidding was going on. Cheers and thank you for the generous offer!
Nice sharp 9KT gold Geneve Cal 1030 hand-wound dress piece in the UK, this will go for a lot less than the 18K gold case as its a local production 9KT variant but still a decent dress piece that looks quite attractive

I'm the winning bidder at $5,200 and was surprised no one bid higher. I'll share more pics once I get it but I'm very happy with the price. This one is going to stay in my collection for a very very long time.
Bad news. Seller refunded and sent a message that he decided to keep the watch. The hunt continues.
Sorry about that. Do you have to accept that? I am from Germany and just have a similar case, the seller canceled the purchase, I think that the selling price was too low for him. But I will not accept this. I have a valid purchase contract with the seller and he can not cancel it unilaterally. 😡
I'm trying to see if eBay can do something about this but I'm not optimistic.
