Re: wroth to buy?
My suggestion is to ask for more pics for the individual watches. The 6105.... if mint fetches up to 1200USD. any rework will dramatically fall in value imho...



From the hands, it doesn't look too minty.... Again look properly, no haste as these will turn up again and again....



Get the best value for money. Unless there are 'got money cannot buy' ones than we can wait.

Thanks for the input.

It's not worth to do a rework on these watches and they fall in value even after. Collectors want original parts Untouched parts. Best if Mint or NOS.





I believe you are able to get fairly good condition 6105 in the market. I saw the other watches in the lot.If you have USD 1500 to burn....Get a nice watch!

I love vintages as they have character but getting the right one its the fun bit.

You only compromise if it is a rare vintage.Otherwise 6105 and the likes appears very often.



Personal opinion, do not get anything from the Philippines.

Re: wroth to buy?
The Vintage motorcycles are more interesting. Tell me more!What are you restoring now?





As you can see.... vintages from Philippines are always pristine. Would there be so many pristine ones? If there are...then that watch is not worth collecting.





They have been very upfront these days.... they tend to disclose fully the work done. So kudos to them.

I agree with this. if you're someone seeking for an all original vintage watch. you might not get one.

IMO to get one its better to see one in the flesh. unless seller is able and willing to prove more pictures.



and then again, unless you're going for quantity instead of quality.... :P
