I am no Breguet expert, but I would have thought a little more than that. Also because you don't see them that much in the vintage market.

Its definitely worth more than that

Haha it's got quite a bit of sentimental value to me, but for curiosities sake, how much could I realistically get for it?

I'll give you $500 cash.

If you want to flip it I would go and see a dealer. Realistically it's worth is probably around 4-8k€, I don't know how this transfers to the US, depending on the condition.

It looks small and depending on the condition you'd probably get much less than that. Look on eBay.

That strap doesn't help it.

Maybe the poster will show up again and tell us a little more. I thought it was a 32mm version, this plus the date puts it in the 4k range, the 8k are probably too optimistic. Still I wouldn't let it go for under 4k. It's the lowest price I found for smething similar on bigger German site..

Here you go...

Lovely collection and not a superfluous tourbillon insight. Well done. However a gap exist nonetheless. A GMT will nicely round off this collection. May I suggest that Patek 5130 in platinum.

So, you didn't read Watch Time's write up a while back?

What is "Watch Time"?

Not a big fan of that magazine unfortunately.

is there generally a discount off MSRP for Rolexs? The store in the mall across from where I work would not give a discount. Trying to decide if this is a good deal (edit: meant if the following was a good deal: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=182803 -- can't imagine MSRP being a good deal) or if I can get same/similar/better price from an AD somewhere. Still trying to decide which way to go between this and a Speedie.

Years ago, you could go through Keith Dowling's AD in Washington D.C. to get 30% off MSRP. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I have a lot of watches. Not all of them fancy or anything but some decent ones. I am toying with the idea of selling as many as I can and getting a "grail" watch. Something I would never consider buying because of the high price, like a Panerai 164 or something. Have any of you done that? Paired down your collection for one really nice watch? I am ok with buying used. I want something unique though (I know, that's hard with a limited spending limit). I also have fairly small wrists so really large watches won't work. What brands/models would be reasonable for me to look at if I sold off:

Omega Seamaster Co-Axial
Omega Speedmaster Professional Moon
Sinn 656
Auguste Reymond Ballad

Orient 60th Anniversary
Seiko Spirit SCVS013 "Blue Spark"
...and a handful of other < $500 watches
