Calling All Watch Aficionados
I have a Porsche 911 Limited Edition Chronograph, Automatic/Mechanical, Eterna movement, vintage 1998/1999. I have owned it about 10 years, previous owner is a member of this site.
I just had it refurbished by an authorized Porsche Design watch shop, new crystal, crown, stem, new gaskets, cleaned and water pressure tested. It looks new again, the complete overhaul was $730.00. I want to sell it - there are three of these for sale on E-Bay priced from $1,700 to $3,000. One is seller refurbished like mine. They've been listed for a while. I'm thinking of pricing mine at $1,500. Does this sound realistic When new these watches sold thru Porsche dealers for $1900 +/-. Thanks for comments and advice. I have all original box, papers, etc. ![]() ![]()

Rick of Pawn Stars would look you straight in the eye and say; "Three hundred bucks".
Then maybe later: "Okay, three fifty, but I'm not going any higher."

Gosh that was close. For a minute I thought this was an ad.

I have the same watch in my collection. Never wear it, for some reason. SS Speedy with a black dial is my go to Chronograph.
I have worn it to a couple of Porsche events, get more comments on the Speedmaster actually.

Seems reasonable to me. If I was in the market I'd be interested, nice looking watch.

Porsche watches are a hard sell. The more valuable ones are the Porsche Design models, but even those are a hard sell. The street pricing on those were less than 50% of MSRP. You can ask whatever you want, but I think it would sell for between $800 - $1000.

Ha! I thought the same. I actually would welcome a general buy/sell page here on Pelican or a sub-forum to OT. A clean, easy way for us to buy, sell, search for things among ourselves. There’s one for Porsche parts but not just general stuff of interest. Motorcycles, watches, pocket knives, tools, cameras, spoons, collectibles, etc.
