    I think you have to assume nearly all Cal 321 Speedmasters you buy off eBay need a service before use, not resetting to zero correctly isn't an uncommon issue and shouldn't be a killer problem, just don't buy for crazy money and you should be ok.

    +1 dsio, factor quite a few pennies in for a service - c321 parts are not the easiest for just anyone to come by

    Duhh.
    Of course now the question arises, how much is not to much!

    Ballpark for these watches head only is $2500-3000 unserviced with the higher end for the more well preserved versions. They can go for higher for the really excellent examples but will likely not go for much lower.
