Hi Folks,

This one hanging there for a long while to my surprise.
Is there anything wrong with this one?

It looks great (perhaps a little too good?), but it certainly seems expensive.

Looks pretty.
I remember these were hunted down if shown up for sale, no matter how high the price.
Love them, specially the digital minute counter version

Ah, mint condition and nicely priced. Those criteria together mean you are bound to never own one

Have you seen the Lucy Digital in the ****** shop? That is one I am surprised is still their given ******'s marketing power. Usually I wake up to there e-mail advising what vintage watches they have released, and they are already sold.

Yes i saw that. It’s in US and for me not really interesting because of import costs.

Indeed surprisingly that one is also still hanging there. Maybe because vinatge watch market has been in general somehow slower than the previous booming 3/4year.

What do you think would be a nice price regarding the 765Lucy i asked about? Just curious to know your opinion.

Honestly, I am not the right guy to ask, as I bargain pretty hard, but still end up buying what I like even if I get nothing. "Your" Lucy is one of the nicest I have seen, but not being an expert, I am wary about its niceness. There was a very honest 1964 reverse-panda for sale on A Collected Man for about €13.500 I was toying with buying, so I judge others around that. If completely legitimate, "your" Lucy would probably be right at between €15.000 to €19.000, but the market varies wildly on these depending on so many factors, including the motivations of the buyer and seller.

I can sell you one
Its been featured in the Breitling vintage catalog , so you'll get that provenance and I'll even give you the catalog it was featured in , hows that for bragging rights ? . not 'a same watch' but 'the watch'

but its going to be on the upper end of reasonable or maybe even the mid end of 'unreasonable'

Hi Rene,

You make me curious. Is it the digital lucy you are talking about?
Can you send me some pictures and what you are asking for?
