:in the UK I would
: expect to pay £200 ($380) for this watch
: fully serviced.

I'm not sure I agree that you can get one fully serviced for that price. You can get one on Ebay - which may or may not have been serviced - for that price, but that is not the same.

A full service from the Swiss Times Services (the "official" service agent) costs £170 in itself, although that it a silly price. Their site sell these types of watches for £700 (again silly).

I reckon you have to go a bit beyond £200. Maybe £300 should cover it, but there is still a risk as you won't be dealing with a reputable dealer, only an Ebay seller.
