: I was watching that from quite early on and wondered if it might be
: a cheap pick-up, but I gave up yesterday at four figures and
: couldn't believe the final price. I don't really see how it
: makes sense as 1600 euros plus the cost to put everything right
: will take it to a normal price anyway. No upside, and only risk
: for downside. Anyway, like you say, an interesting result.

I bought mine a few months ago (no 3h, "T" only dial) in very good condition for a bit more than 2kE at an auction online.

The Valjoux 230 is now being serviced by my watchmaker, I'm looking forward to get my watch back soon.

But yeah, the prices tend to go up...
