: That's the point - why are the other ones so cheap ... Is there
: something wrong?
: Per
Depends on what you mean by "wrong".
You can see the difference in condition between the two white Montreals- the crisp, white colour of the dial on the more expensive one versus the yellowing dial of the other. Then there is the bracelet, which is probably 300-500 Euros (depending on which version of the bracelet- its not clear from those photos).
Over USD5000 for a white Montreal would be a new high point...but you just don't see many of these and even fewer in mint condition.
I think its a classic case of there being a premium for a watch in "excellent" condition versus one that is in "good" condition- whether that premium is fair is up to the buyer....nice to have the choise.
