Interested in people's thoughts on this one:

I've seen Valjoux Navitimers listed as BIN for crazy amounts but this one is a straight auction so I'm tracking it just to see what it goes for. I'd love to know if the experts think it's a legit piece or a build though.

Aside from the red chrono hand it seems all original to me
now the condition leaves something to be desired , and as these are rare and sought after it will still bring a pretty penny

not sure what you mean with 'crazy BIN prices' , and I am curious to learn what you feel would be a fair price for this one ?

Oh I think I saw one for something around $18k on eBay. May not be crazy. It's only crazy when I look in my wallet and realize I'm about $17,995.00 short. :wink:

I really have no idea what a fair price would be since so few come up.
