: 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.

Cheers John, your input much appreciated and I agree it's a pleasure to own such a thing. Though you have put me back into a dilemma! It is a beauty and in lovely condition but the seller's opening price is a fair bit over Jeff's estimation. I think I'll see how much he will negotiate...
