Shaun,

I completely agree with what Jeff has said about the value, liquidity and originality of the watch...although as Jeff said some of this is just an educated guess. I just want to add one thought. How many times in your life do you get to buy a beautiful watch of this age, in this condition in it original box? I tend to err on the side of buying things like this. Even if you buy it and enjoy it for a year or so and then have to sell it at a loss of a couple hundred bucks (although I doubt you would) you can look at it as paying a couple hundred dollars of rent. To me this is a low rent for such pleasure.

Just my thought.
