Why would anyone be bidding on this?

Look how rough the case is. Crappy dial. Not running. The current bid is $550. Why would anyone be bidding on this? I just don't get it. The value isn't there. The stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.

I saw that one last night and wondered the same thing, then I looked more closely at the pictures.

It's in pretty rough condition, but it is genuine as far as I can tell.

I agree! Stop bidding up so high on these basket cases you crazy loons!!

Back in July 2mths ago was looking for similar, a beatup girly Oyster donor towards a vanity project... this would've been perfect, though probably could do without twotone or date.

$550 is nothing, just basic steel no date were going double that in worse nick. If vendor's luck holds up, this horse has legs to go much further before end of auction

that's legit? It looks to me like a bit of the gold plate on what should be a solid gold bezel has peeled off, and how 'bout the positioning of the date? I don't presume to know a fraction of what the experts here do, but to me that looks awful.

The date is in the middle of a change, the time is probably 3.30am. Can be repaired.

Bid is currently $730 plus $10 shipping. Add $500 minimum for service plus shipping and you'd be in it for at least $1,250. Remember that is if it needs zero parts or repairs other than a standard service. When you get it back you'd have a really beat up (or really polished) case, a poorly refinished dial, and a stretched bracelet.

Why do you keep adding to your misguided post?

If you don't like it don't bid on it.

Now up to $770 can't believe the price is that high for a 6916 in that bad condition. The watch is probably only worth $2500 (if that) in good condition and thats after you put atlas more than the watch is worth in its current state fixing it !!!!

Where in Chicago? Years ago (30+) my home was on the 8th tee of the Lincolnshire Country Club. We're heading up there for the weekend in mid-October.

You find stupid friends to bid on it.

Why do people think everything on that website is 100% trustworthy?

Im thinking there are a few shill bidders on this watch. I see at least 4 new accounts that have raised the bids. Just look at the bid history. Looks fishy.

As if the case with most of these.

Even when the item is "sold" and the auction ends, do you actually think any money ever changes hands?

Very easy to pad sales and feedback on that site.

Other than the bidders who have been on eBay for (less than 30 days) who bid on the piece during opportunistic times throughout the auction.

Nah I only look at the closing minutes... there's 6 bids from 4 bidders, 2 inching it up to Mr O***K's $1020 but Mr M***1's snipe with 4s to go knocks it over $1045.

Looks like good fight nothing untoward.

Love it even more when winner snipes it for LESS than 1 bid increment now that's a photo finish.

With under 3s to go even better!
