Well, the one you show is not new nor true NOS. Here is what the seller writes:
It's in good used condition. It's difficult to find this valuable watch in such a good condition
Used is used. |

Used is used. Nah, that's just his standard line. He is pretty honest, since he doesn't "know" it is new old stock, but if you look at the condition section he calls it "old stock" Besides my point was about how expensive it is. It sure looks new, in the box, with the hang tag, and the 27 jewel version. But still US$650!?! Good luck!  - Thomas |

Wow, it "just shows to go ya"... Turns out that US$650 price for the 27-jewel "old stock" Bellmatic was just the starting bid, not a BIN price. And it is already up to US$685!!  As someone with a larger watch budget than cranial capacity, even I am shocked!  A BIN price has been entered as well, at US$888.98!! Holy Moly!  - Thomas |

Hmm, a little odd.... Now the 27-jewel watch just shows a new higher BIN of US$385? Perhaps to do that, he had to fake a bid above the old BIN, put in a higher BIN, than change the BIN to the new higher price? I have not sold on eBay, so I don't know if that is what you have to do to raise the BIN. As if it wasn't higher enough already! After days of no action, why would you raise your BIN even higher? Planning on some intoxicated "Black Friday" shoppers??  - Thomas |
