This.

The ask and buy vary wildly sometimes. Make sure you look at the sold items not the listed ones.

I have looked at Chrono 24, where do they get the spec sheet such jewels, size and all that stuff?

Part of it would depend on the watch. EBay and Chrono24 are fine for a general idea, but there is so much junk on both sites. Some good, but a lot not so good. The bad stuff can skew pricing and give a misleading idea of true value.

I’d suggest a more focused search on some good dealer websites. You’ll see only asking prices, of course, but generally the variation is not much off of that.

I use a local auction place for appraisals, they are approved by my home insurance company for that.

+1 on @Tom1675 suggestion: watchrecon
Watchrecon is basically an aggregate of FS/Sold watches that are being offered (or have been offered) for sale on various forums. It's essential that you compare apples to apples so you get a more realistic sense of a particular watch's market value.

I sometimes check Bobs Rolex site. He posts a "buy price" and a "sell price". This sort of demysitfies the whole pricing conundrum for me. I find this to be very helpful in bracketing priceranges based on condition and age.

So what is the difference between a Big Red and a Panda?

What does floating dial mean?

Big red is daytona printed red

Panda is white dial with black sub dials (like the face of the panda bear)

Floating means it does not sink. Just kidding: cosmograph is located 'loose' i.e. not directly under the rest of the text

I thought I was the only one calling this a bubble... prices are insane... I'm cautiously buying right now as I'm not sure if this is a new "price floor" or a temporary bump...

I too agree prices are insane, especially for 6263 and 6265

there are 2 or 3 vintage dealers in particular posting in this forum that are pricing at laughable levels. i guess there must be some real idiots with too much money out there, but in the last few months i have yet to see them sell anything.

and most of their listings are literally featuring dogs and beaters priced like they're mint examples.

the everything bubble of the central planners, their owner banksters and the gov. fascinating 'times'.
