I am contemplating purchasing this Premier Reference 787. The condition is described as "excellent original condition" and it sure does look like it to me. of course, he wants an "excellent" condition price ($3,500). I would appreciate and welcom any input regarding condition, price, etc. (or any other thoughts you all may have).
thanks!

no matter how good the condition, price is by at least $1k too high.
u are aware the 787 is quite small, I assume, around 35mm ?

When watches that are almost as old as Fred ( :wink: ) look brand new, I tend to be sceptical!

As said, some more / better pictures would help, but no pictures will make it look like it's worth that kind of money.
