Watch runs 10 seconds fast. I am not sure if there’s anything with the movement that needs to be tinkered with

Most importantly sorry I had to ask what’s the fair value for watch only? The seller can regulate it bracelet is tight

Personally, for an asking price of $17,000, I would not except any issues/concerns and that the watch is correct for it's age.
It might need a service, it might not. Is the case back OK for you since it is not finished properly with the concentric circles? Is the bracelet and insert correct for the watch? How about the crystal - is it a replacement Tropic 38 crystal or an original cyclope 116 where the date magnifier has been removed? Is the case condition and spring bar holes in comparable condition with other watches in that price range? These are a few questions that you can ask the seller or decide on your own.

Thank you springer. Some of the points you raised were lingering in my head. Case condition does not seem to be at par with what’s on the market. It’s a beautiful piece though. Again the value subject has been discussed at length here. Can’t blame the buyer being careful when 16750 went up so much in price for the past couple of years!!

That insert is from the 60s isn’t it?

Yes while some people ponder about it , the watch is sold as informed by the seller.
I think it's a top condition watch that's Abit expensive but the condition calls for it. |
