Re: Advice on a 3647 N for sale

If it was priced fairly it would have sold months ago...this has been listed for a long time at a price that is significantly higher than what previous and similar examples sold for.
This dealer tends to prices things at the extreme high end.

: As the owner of an early 3647N, I will tell you that it's a
: fantastic Heuer and the piece being offered by European Watch
: looks to be in exceptional, original condition. Looking at some
: of the pieces that have been sold or have been offered for sale,
: they have had a number of issues when it comes to originality
: and condition. To find a complete and correct 3647N is not an
: easy feat and sourcing original replacement parts will be very
: difficult.

: Is the price high? Who is to say? Does someone have a better
: example or even equal example for sale for less? Not that I have
: seen. I suppose that tells you quite a bit. It's easy to say
: something is overpriced but unless someone can point you to an
: equal example for markedly less, then maybe the price isn't so
: high??? It's for the buyer to decide, but I would always pay
: more for a clean, correct example than a piece with incorrect
: pushers, or a seconds hand that lost it's tail, like one of the
: examples in the links provided. That's just me though. Here's a
: pic of my 3647N for good measure:

: Good luck in whatever you decide!
