It may fetch more, less in the worst case, it all depends on whether it is an auction or a sales add with a firm price.

Looks to be in very nice shape, though judging by the position of the regulator lever, it may be in need of a service?

Good eye, but there is a bit left on the scale. Still, service is most likely in order.

Actually as I mentioned, I was 'disappointed by the watch. It kept good time but had a strange issue, the entire dial will move slightly to the left and right when I try to set hands or wind it. This was what I meant when I said it was flimsy.

Might put it up for sale to see if someone can repair and sell it on or give it more love than I can (it's hard to love an ultra thin watches when my other watch is a 60mm egi).

Looking at pictures seems like missing movement holder screws-movement to case screws.That might cause free play of movement-dial when crown is operating.Or might be recased,universal oftens signed cases so if there is no sign might be recased.

The case back is signed but yes it seems those screws are missing
