Sorry for my lack of knowledge, would someone please explain to me the function of the upper subdial at 12 with the two hands?
One of those subdial hands is moved with the thin crown on the left, right?
Thank you very much
Well, I just took a look, and IMO their prices are wildly inconsistent ... just all over the place. Mostly, the prices are 30-40% above where I would buy a watch from another collector, but some are insanely high (like 3x the fair price), and I see a few that are actually well-priced.
I'm not personally familiar with the market for these, but this site tracks auction prices. Obviously the asking price is at the top of this range, which is not surprising.

It looks like that's just aggregating anything with the term "aero compax" in it, which includes a number of very different models and variations over time. It's probably not very useful in this case unless you can refine the results more (I can't see how to do that, if there is a way).
I'm not personally familiar with the market for these, but this site tracks auction prices. Obviously the asking price is at the top of this range, which is not surprising. I will mention that there is some significant damage to the upper sub-dial, and minor damage to the right-hand sub-dial, so I don't think one can say that this is truly pristine. Obviously it's very nice, but when you are asking a price like that, people are going to look very hard for flaws.
