What Is This Watch Worth ? (WITWW?)

I propose a new game for any interested in downsizing, which is not easy, and selling,
which is also not easy. The value of an object simply boils down to a consensus of
opinions, though i have also observed that it only takes one buyer to make a deal.

I'd like to start the game with this watch, a rare one, and rare ones are by definition
very hard to evaluate. I am proving the respect that i have for your opinions by asking
for them, and of course, we're all delusional, so perhaps this game/thread can become
something like a true mirror, something that shows us some truth. Here's the watch:


I don't want to become the guy who just keeps flogging a watch at what really is an arbitrary
price until it sells. i bump my prices down until reality shows me i'm being reasonable. what if
we could begin the selling process this way instead of ending it?

Thanks for your consideration, and i'll be glad to offer my opinions to you, if you ask :)

So, here's a watch I just sold a week or two back. I wasn't sure how to price it , but let's put it this way, I didn't want to give it away.
I'd class it as fairly rare as it's JDM and I couldn't find another for sale at that particular time when I was selling.
It's a SARG 007 6r15 02N0, very good condition, perfect time keeper and box , papers and original strap
So, what do you think it eventually sold for?

I'm just going to throw a # out, but i have no idea what these cost when new, i also
don't know how old it is/year made....seems pretty current though. Looks like the numbers
on the dial are lumed. I think it's an improvement on an alpinist, the only alpinist i ever bit at
was the black dialled one in the SKX case, so, this is right up my alley. $525 U.S.?
I'll just see if any others want to have a guess, before I say
people don't seem as interested as i'd hoped. what i notice about getting older
is that prices continuously shock me, and i'd rather have some idea of what's
going on than be continuously shocked....am i under on the sale price? i can wait
to find out, but i do want to know :)
I totally understand that. It's some bizarre art that is known to a few :D

So, I bought this a good few years ago for approx £350 I think - and then when I researched a price to sell it on here last year , I put £525 thinking it was rare and I couldn't find a better example anywhere with box and papers. I also thought, it might then draw an offer of £500 which I'd be happy with.

I didn't get a single reply to the ad until a month or two back, from a member who just joined with zero feedback or postings, so I wasn't going to risk a sale.

So, I put it on eBay for £425 buy it now , for 7 days and got one show of interest but a low £300's offer. I knocked that back and they kept going up to £375 eventually. I was sure that if I left it up at £400 on ebay then it would sell for that.

Had one more go on eBay but nothing and eventually I sold to the guy from eBay for £375 but off ebay , which saved my fees, and I paid postage.

So this 'game' of pricing up your watches is a complex thing I think.

But, all in all, I was happy to sell, happy with price, and also it's worth it when things go smoothly.

There's an easy way to determine the exact value of a rare watch: sell it in an auction
True, but the OP was saying 'how do you price up a watch when selling on here and need to put a fixed price'.

So the nearest thing to auction would be check eBay's sold listing for nearest exact same thing. But with a rare watch, it might not be so easy.
