I was praying that nobody was going to bid this one up. It could have easily gone for $250 last year. Seems like the prices on Ebay are down about %20 from the season average, and I've been tracking all the South Bends for three years now. Anyways, I got this beauty for $155 which was a steal. Please peruse the pictures below but I'll describe it.

1) Sharp, unworn case, no brassing.
2) Original watchcase paper!
3) Private label movement dial! I've never seen one on a 6s before. No chips, no hairlines.
4) Uncommon 1 star movement. The movement is serviced and has no jewelers marks. The only sign that it's been serviced is the slight marks in the screw slots.

It's like it was put in a time capsule and pulled out 103 years later. Sometimes I think this sections should be called "Pitfalls and Priceless" or something like that. Smile
