Chronosplit *PIC*

I've been asked to find the 'fair' value of a Chronosplit2 for a friend who is about to sell his, and I wondered if there were any helpful opinions amongst you fine knowledgeable fellows!

I'll try...

I noticed the one on eBay, which needs attention and wondered how inflated their suggestion of a $2500 - $3500 price tag was (The £80.00 bid will no doubt be a disappointment to them!).

80£? No doubt! Disappointed!!!

The watch in question is the lcd/led version, which works perfectly. He has had it from new (1975) but cannot find the box etc. (I told him to look harder!).

Well, I know of the availability of a similar model, for sale, with dual LCD displays at a reputable dealer for $600. I don't know if the LED/LCD or LCD/LCD combination is more desirable. But I think that is one datapoint for you.

Would the best advice be to put it on eBay? Have any of you sold one of these watches 'mail order' and if so, how do you get around the problem of them 'conking out' without warning? I can see this being a problem unless you actually have it in your hands and see for yourself that it works perfectly!

I think if you wish to establish value, you could list it on eBay with an incredibly high reserve ($10,000 or $100,000 and see what people bid it up to.

I don't know enough about selling LCD/LED watches to comment on the rest of it but I thought I would share what I could quickly.

Over to you guys - don't pull your punches!

Send me an email if you wish to look at the LCD/LCD version for sale. I'll email you a link upon request.
