Gotten this piece on eBay for about 270USD inclusive shipping. There are many more going for even less...
You can expect a gen from big name... Such as this Girard Perregaux (with motto Watches for the Few). Just FYI, GP is one of the very old "manufacture" that still exists till today.
I can suggest looking for vintage Omega Seamaster 600 too (this one going for about 300USD ballpark or less).
Popped the caseback and you will see a very beautiful Gyromatic movement (36000bph, 17 jewels, hacking function, quickset date, day). Signed, decorated, clean.
Called up GP today to ask for full service fee + refinishing, less than 600USD. Which makes a total of less than 1k USD (GUG RULEZ!).
By the way, GP is the first watch manufacturer to make the first high frequency/high beat mechanical movement of 36000bph (not Zenith).
Pictures don't do justice to this watch. You have got to see it in person.
