Servicing isn't any different in cost than a lower beat caliber, it's just a different lubricant needed in the escapement. "Watch does tick but sold as found, not running." is always a gamble. Might simply need a service, might need parts. If it's only a service it's worth the asking price.

Kind of what I was thinking, SS C case with no band. Rather low on the totem pole as an Ultra Chron I would assume. Great place for the rotor in the picture.. Can't see the serial number. I would guess 69 or 70 as it does look like a calibre 431. Will watch it, but no bids does say quite a bit. The Zodiac SST 36000bph is the same cost to service as any other with the same complications, but Longines I do not really know other than Dad liked them.
Thanks for the advice

The Buy It Now was $250 - yet the auction ended with a winning bid of $252.30!

I was looking at it in the opening $150 range, when it went for more than the buy it now... Someone wanted much much more so than I. There will always be others.

Correct. 👍 Good conditioned stainless U-C's seem to be selling in the $250 - $325 range.
