Hi Albert,
There isn't a rule about quoting prices (not that I'm aware of!). Prices aren't banded around that often because it's a difficult area to get right. It all depends on the watch condition, bracelet or not, serviced etc etc, there are so many variables. Buyers want prices low, sellers high, so it's difficult to pin down. Also, people are reluctant to pin their colours to the mast, as they could be proved 'way off' with any prices.

As a guide, there is a couple of great looking 'barrels' on Chrono24 at the moment, ranging from around £1250 (cal.15) to £2000 (blue cal.12). I'd say that they are well priced. The the blue cal.12 model is more sought after. The cal.15 watch is very very reasonable. Personally I think this is a little on the high side, but as always, if you want it & it'll be with you for years to come, maybe it's worth the money for a lifetimes joy. Of course, this is all IMHO!

Too often I've bought a watch that has seemed cheap, only to realise that I'm going to have it overhauled at great cost.

Cheers, and let us know how you get on!
