Jeff, the siffert was not in good shape, one knob was non original, and the hands still paint...also the bezel tachy wasn not mint

In addition: summer lull is the best time to buy watches at ebay...but not for selling them!
:
: OK, guys . . . this week we have seen a near
: mint Blue Silverstone sell in the $2200
: range and a Siffert Automatic sell for
: $1025. For time to time we have discussed
: the dynamics of the vintage watch market,
: and the Heuer market in particular.

: so what is it that we are seeing now? the
: usual summer slump, when the buyers are at
: the beach? something a bit worse than the
: usual summer slump? over-heated market for
: Heuer chronos finally correcting itself?
: currency fluctuations? general economic
: conditions / gas too expensive? ebay getting
: mature after five years, so the collectors
: have completed their collections? something
: else?
: no need to panic, right ? ? ?
