Are those diamonds or screw heads ? 😁
I would not spend 4K Eur in order to find it out. 😜
One thing is for sure:
Beer goggles won't help with this one..,,.

3 and a half you must be mad.......
Perhaps 3500 shekels anyhow? The exchange rate is rather hard to figure out these days.

7K !?!?

There was one in a job lot of old watches from a charity shop that sold for around 800 on Ebay a few months ago.
I saw it after it was sold...

Your correct. Some buyers just like the watch and are not interested in whether it's original or not. If they have the money who are you to tell them they are wrong to buy it just because you wouldn't. Watches like everything else, they are worth what someone is willing to pay you. You can laugh and make jokes about the sellers asking price but all he needs to do is find that one buyer who feels the price is justified. I'm not a salesman and could never be one but a friend of mine who is in sales and loves it, told me once when we were discussing the profession that he doesn't think or care about the person who says no to him. Doesn't affect him at all. If someone turns him down so be it. All he's looking for is that one person who says yes.

Holy crap.... $10,000 for a 321 bridge W/ SN?
Filed for future reference.

To my untrained eye that looks more like an 860 bridge than a 320, which I believe are different (escape wheel bridge #1004).

Edit: serial number probably wouldn't work in that case. Assuming part is real.
