i have a chance to buy a watch that "fell of a truck". im just not sure how much would be a fair price for it....it is a chopard mille miglia chronograph...brand new

UncleButternutts · May 21, 2003

Hard to say really. They range anywhere from $1,500 to $6,000. Depends on the style.

What are they asking?

How many do they have?

ref number 16/8920

UncleButternutts · May 21, 2003

Heck, I don't even wear a watch... And the ones that I do own, are the cheap Timex shit.

I go to the Timex anual warehouse sale and pick up a couple of them...
