    folks,

    I need to put a value on this Aero. No reference number or serial (i usually walk away) and all of the issues that accompany old watches (wrong crown, signs of rust, screws missing in movement). Value?

    Seems it has been heavily polished but still a very nice example ...

    It might be. However, no movement shots, no serial or reference (looks like a kojak) so I would hold back from going all out. seems that bidding has gone a little crazy without careful homework. The nina should not fit a Valjoux 726, it should have a caliber 130 or a caliber 85.

    One of the pushers seem to have the edge polished off quite severely.

    Polished yes. Day date wheel looks too new for the rest of the watch.

    I think it passed "nascent", along with the price tag for that, a long time ago.
