Can eBay be trusted at all?... that Premier looks quite good - but would also want to make sure it is authentic given that the previous 2 I posted weren't

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251808369130? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Is the price of $2200 appropriate assuming that it passes the Franken test

Thank you for your help

Looks fine with the exception of the signed crown which didn't come along until much later and the signed buckle on the strap which is also not period correct.

as Paul says, basically correct piece - you might want to replace the crown with a correctly unsigned, thinner crown during service sometimes, but truly minor.

price is realistic, very decent example.
