·It’s a bit hard to pin down values as there haven’t been so many private sales recently, but my gut feeling was mine would be perhaps be in that sort of range, and apart from having no insert, it’s a clean “one previous owner” example. If it is a genuine offer, it would be pretty crazy not to even consider it.

·You really think so high ? I had a strong feeling that prices on these had dropped although that’s not really based on many sales. I’m sure I’ve seen project ones go for under $4-5k. I’m not trying to talk the market down as I’ve got one !
I also find it a long stretch to believe that someone would offer $8.5k for the OP's watch. Even if they had an extremely good spare dial ($3-5k?) lying around and assuming the rest can be fixed easily with a donor movement and taking into account they would also need a restored bezel insert....at the end of it all they'd probably only be break even or actually perhaps a little under water....so who'd do that?

So... are you saying the OP lies about getting an offer or? And as he/she does not seem to be willing to part with it - why imply it?

·Th
Those are lovely! The gentleman who made me that offer has always been quite impulsive in his purchases, not really always looking values up before purchasing and sometimes overpaying. That’s another reason I didn’t feel right closing a deal as I don’t know the values for this very well myself
