Dennis are you still going for this one?
Now I'm on the fence after studying it. I still like it, and the dial is excellent, but ever time I see this thread it puts me one step more towards passing. I gotta impose a 24 hour cooling off period and stop getting overly excited because I need to stick to my plan - and this 2627 / 353 was not in that plan anymore.
Well I'm going to go for it if the price is right. Gotta factor in the price for the right crystal, who could have thought that date magnifier was a good idea! lol
The eBay 353 went for 1766. I was in at 1300 🙁
I think you were a bit low with that bid, even by my bottom-feeding standards. Melt value on the case is probably around $1,000 at current prices. A decent steel or gold-capped version of this watch with an average dial goes in the $400 to $600 range. Add a slight premium for the nice guilloche dial and you're pretty close to the winning bid.

I was kind of surprised by the final price being that high.
I might have raised my bid had I not seen the waffle constellation in the recommended eBay watches thread.
