"Fair Price" Guide by Movement Type

more_vert
If you like the way a watch looks the next obvious question is what movement does it have. Based on the answer everyone then starts making calculations in our head whether or not that is a "fair price" for that particular watch.
Of course there are always other factors, plating, strap type, brand name, etc. but I always look at the price:movement ratio as a good indicator of whether its prices high, low or just right.
Wanted to develop a list and get everyone's opinion on what is a "fair price" for a decent looking watch given its movement (irrespective of style, brand, etc.) Here is a list of movements. Would be great if everyone could put what they felt was a "fair price" for that movement. Please feel free to add movements to the list;
ETA 2824
ETA 2892
Valjoux 7750
Sellita SW200
Miyota Automatic
Miyota Quartz
Ronda Swiss Quartz
ETA Swiss Quartz
Seiko Automatic Movement

When I was "into" watches (and I was VERY into watches) one of the key things I'd consider when buying a watch was "What will this flip for when I sell it?" Movements matter of course, re-sale matters more, at least to me it mattered more.

TragiqueThanks for the reply. To follow your logic, the next obvious question is what matters most to resale. I would say its a combination of brand + mvmt. Would you say the same?
