$217 with over 5 days to go, past my point of curiosity but thanks just the same.
Passed my point of curiosity at the last moment, I was winning at sub-$300 until it was below a minute. My max of 325 was not enough, and it seems that two other bidders were in on it, for 366. Probably a neat movement, but the pocket watch 1035 I have is close enough, and frankly, it wasn't very attractive so I would have felt bad paying >$300 for it.

This one is really nice with the non-luminous dial and the BOR bracelet. If I did not already own a very similar reference I would be all over this one.
What's a decent price range for this one?

Best to compare against sold ebay listings, see: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...amaster+562&_osacat=0&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1
This is usually my advice too, but this one actually is a bit of a peach. 900-1200 is pretty average for these, but this is quite lovely, I'd say it'll probably go for ~1200-1500, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was a bit higher than that.

The movement photos are gorgeous, its looks brand new...

I'd be surprised at $1200-$1500 considering it's the non chronometer version and has what looks like pitting on the case near the crown. It is a nice watch tho, a lot going for it including correct crown and 11 end links.

Isn't the bracelet alone ~$900? I thought @dsio did a video on this bracelet pretty recently. And given all the links, I'd say the bracelet alone is worth a bunch.

As for that stuff near the crown... it looks like it could just be scum? Or at least looks shallow enough. Odd place to get corrosion. There IS a touch on the case back, but it seems superficial.

As far as chronometer, you're right, but IDK how many people on ebay seem to particularly care about that.

Argh, I put a watchlist in this one, didn't notice the Buy it Now.
It got re-listed! https://www.ebay.com/itm/257374053351

I looked at the original listing, it was taken down due to an 'error' in the listing! Put back up with teh 950 BIN if you wanted it.

Maybe I am missing something, but the Omega BOR bracelets go for $300 for a nice one. This one looks to be a bit stretched from this photo:

I'm not an expert, but the one I have is much more rigid than this.

Entirely possible I'm confused on this, I'm far from an expert as well. That said, I'd be shocked if it stays south of 1200.

BoR bracelets are indeed quite cheap, flat link bracelets are vastly more expensive and that watch in the video that was worth a lot due to its bracelet was a result of it being a 7912 which is one of the more high demand flat links, second only to the 7077.

Ah! That is the video I was thinking of... no idea why I thought that was about BoR...

People need to do their own research and decide what they are comfortable paying. Potential bidders @texascollectors should also search our Private Sales subform. @hant26 has sold several very nice serviced 166.010 Seamasters for under 1000 euro within the last year. I wouldn't get too carried away. Patience is key with watch hunting.

Thanks for the advice! Sometimes its hard with the excitement, but agree that this is a world where patience and research trump all.
