How much is it worth?

Pics are the big help there mate

But it does depend on how it compares to the current version if its changed, given its age it could be better!

And condition of course

Put it up in the sales area with what you'd like to get for it, followed by "or best offer".

Better hurry up Doc's waiting to make that offer...... ;):D

One thing to take into consideration in determining the value.

The shock assembly is not Swiss.

Swiss looks like this

Even if the shock assembly looks like that, it is not 'really'

swiss if it comes on a rep. Might be referred to as swinese

which is another way of saying, Asian build, made to look swiss.

The more common ETA 6497 that the factories/dealers used had a solid plate on the shock assembly, which yours doesn't. I would say it is definitely Asian, and the engravings on the bridges are the less sought after. If you take a profile shot of the CG, you may find it is in demand, if nicely shaped. The crown doesn't look too bad, but it may be because it is out of focus.

I think if you look at Joshs offers you will be able to judge for yourself now you know the SP on the movement.

Over $400 for that rep? :wounded1:

Sorry mate, you got fleeced, quite a bit actually :black_eye:

I remember the time when the cartel boys were trying to pass Pam reps with that particular mov't in them as Swiss ETA. We (The Zigmeister actually) took it apart after few people had issues with pallet fork catching the hairspring, dissected it and came to conclusion it's a 'hybrid' mov't at best.

Years later, this mov't was nicknamed as 'Swasian' and/or 'Chiss'.

I also asked Davidsen to take mine apart completely, he confirmed it's basically Asian mov't built on top of the Swiss ETA ebauche (baseplate and drive train only, no bridges escapement and regulator).

Basically the watch shouldn't cost more than $200 these days, IMO.

cheers,
