I have been offered #200 by a fellow watch collector and professional watchmaker privately for $500.  The watch is pristine, and will come with a 2 year written guarantee.

Downside: no paperwork or box, and aftermarket leather strap. (originally came with ss bracelet and carbon fibre strap)

Being a chrono lover, I really like this watch - especially being a COSC 7750 on top of it.

I normally don't touch high end watches without paperwork, but I might just be tempted in this case.  It is one sweet watch!  At least I will get an official invoice from a reputable dealer.

Anyone familiar with this model?

I own about a 9 Jean Marcels and they are very high quality and 100% Swiss.....you will find pages on the brand using the search engine here and that is a very nice piece depending on the price because that particular model came in a Orbita watch winder and a pretty large presentation box....also it is a LE...Targa 911 named after the Porsche and the paperwork would have meant quite a bit to me ,especially the COSC certhand6.gif

Thanks for the feedback.

What is your verdict on the price then?  I'm thinking it is a bargain!

Seems like a good price if you are not concerned about provenance. Cool watch and I don't even dig the chronos too much!:shock:

Great watch and price. You would have a hard time buying the movement alone for that price now. ;)

GO FOR IT:)

$500 for a COSC Watch is a BARGAIN.

Cheers,
Simon
