Everything is subjective, my opinion woukd be around $1200 would be fair. Some factors, the rubber strap, is is new and uncut? can yyou use it Etc.

Well, considering that new, on 3 sites I've checked, they run from $1380 (chronomaster.uk) to $1560 at Watchbys to $1650 at redfinger.com, Iwould think that $1100 to $1200 would be the max!

A preowned on factory SS bracelet with all papers, cd and box recently went for $1190 at watchseekers...a premier site for pre-owned pieces.

I am not sure where you are getting your prices.  I just checked watchbuys is $1730 for the bracelet model.  Chronomaster is 795 british lbs which at todays rate works out to $1578.  Are you seeing those same prices or are you relying on old data?

Regards

these are NIB prices from dealers.....you are asking for used prices which I have seen anywhere from $1100. to $1400. depending on condition and with or without all the goodieswatch2.gifThe U1 holds it's value very well and again it would depend on the seller and how patient and diligent you are in your search for a pre-owned U1hand6.gif

Sorry, missed the "bracelet" part.  Those quotes are for rubber strap...but the bottom line is that you will rarely ever find anything "cleaner" than that which watchseller sells...and, because of their sterling reputation, they even get a slight premium.  So there is your answer...$1180 or less!

That particular U1 sold in April (not even sure which year), and Sinn raised prices over the summer.  A U1 on bracelet for $1200 would be an outstanding price - today I would think a fair price would be anything under $1400 assuming excellent 95%+ condition.
