Asking isn’t selling. The numbers below are what sellers want. What collectors actually paid lives in the Market Reports — the gap between the two is where the education happens.

The ranges are members’ work. Every reference’s asking range and median, the spread against realized prices, and the full off-board log go to members in the dispatch. This page is the proof the work exists: counted, dated, checked by hand. See the membership →
The spread — asking vs. realized
The most instructive number in vintage watches isn’t a price. It’s the distance between two prices.
Opens with the first verified sale
Each reference pairs its median asking price against its median realized price — once verified realized sales are on the record. Until then, this panel stays honest — and empty.

Worth a look
One listing, discussed — for education, not promotion.
A dial priced like a watch
$10,900 · Chrono24
From this morning's Chrono24 check (November 7): a listing titled '105.002-62 Dial Only 1962,' asking $10,900. Read that title twice — what is for sale is the dial alone, no case, no calibre 321, no watch. The teaching is in the comparison on the same page: complete 105.002s in this morning's sample start at $8,452. A single component can be rare enough to carry a five-figure ask, and parts listings sit inside vintage search results wearing the same reference numbers as whole watches. The discipline is the same as always: read the whole title, and let words like 'dial only' land before the reference number does.
An example worth studying — not a recommendation, and not a comment on the seller. Do your own diligence.
Listings our nightly checks were watching that no longer appear — noted, not declared sold.
4 listing(s) left the nightly sweep this week. The log itself — which listings, last seen asking, and when they went — ships in the members’ dispatch.
Off the board is not sold. A listing that no longer appears may have sold, been withdrawn, or simply left the first page of our sweep coverage. Removal is noted, never declared.
Market diary
Every check, timestamped. The raw records behind this page are kept in full.
eBay sweep: 9 references, 135 listings captured. Complete: 135 organic listings (15 per reference, CK 2915 from its exact-results section), Best Match confirmed on every page, sponsored placements excluded. No 'Pardon Our Interruption' or CAPTCHA. Heading total 1,073 (was 1,009). eBay's Sponsored marking was inconsistent in this browser view — exclusions used first-view sponsored headings on six references and the settled view plus visible labels on 105.012/145.012. CK 2915: zero complete vintage watches (modern '57s, print ads and parts). CK 2998 sample was all modern reissues plus a box-and-papers-only listing at $3,000. 105.002: three true, incl. a Pre-Moon ST105.002-62 at $29,156.85. 105.012: A.C.P. again at $98,500, 'Pewter Grey' again at $85,000. 145.022-69 again the cleanest set: all 15 true. Auctions show current bid at check time (145.012-67 at $2,050, 3 bids; Ed White 105.003-65 $12,495, 0 bids; 105.012-66CB $5,495, 0 bids). All prices USD, no conversion. Example search: 145.022-69
Chrono24 sweep: 9 references, 157 listings captured. Complete — no bot challenge this week. 157 first-page listings across 9 references; site-reported total 279 (down from 310). Chrono24's Relevance results rotate between loads: re-running CK 2915 and CK 2998 minutes later returned partly different listings, so this file is the 7:57–8:07 AM ET point-in-time snapshot. CK 2915 down to 4 listings (the $95,000 2915-1, the FOIS build at $6,500, a price-on-request tropical dial, a 2915-2 at $24,900 JP). CK 2998 search total fell to 14 and its sample was mostly modern limited editions; the tropical 2998-1 lollipop still tops at $143,943. The 145.012 Red Racing SP outlier persists, now $181,389 (coordinator spot-check reproduced it exactly from the live page). Two explicit 'No NASA' 145.022-71s ($11,766 and $10,963). One CK 2998-8 record carries an unverified URL (observed id collision on id42019632). All prices USD, as listed. Example search: 145.022-69
eBay sweep: 9 references, 124 listings captured. Complete: 124 organic listings (CK 2915 yielded only 4 organic in its exact-results section; 15 each for the other eight references), Best Match confirmed on every page, sponsored placements excluded. No 'Pardon Our Interruption' or CAPTCHA this week. Heading total 1009 (was 980). CK 2915: zero complete vintage watches (modern reissues, a crown part). CK 2998 sample all modern reissues/parts except one genuine vintage CK 2998 at $29,500. 105.002: two true, incl. a Pre-Moon ST105.002-62 at $27,699. 105.012: A.C.P. Peru limited again at $98,500, 'Pewter Grey' again at $85,000. 145.022-69 cleanest set: all 15 true. Auctions show current bid at check time (105.003-65 $13,995, 0 bids; 105.012-66 CB and a 1968 Transitional both $5,995, 0 bids; a 145.022-69ST at $3,200, 0 bids). All prices USD, no conversion. Correction note: this sweep's report was delivered after the morning's first deploy, which had carried the Oct 24 eBay figures forward with disclosure; the completed sweep superseded that interim state the same morning and the page was rebuilt and redeployed. Example search: 145.022-69

CK 2915 now 5 listings: the two genuine watches ($95,000 2915-1; 2915-2 down slightly to $52,676 on FX), a dial-only part, plus new noise — an X-33 and a $6,298 build from a 2012 FOIS (this week's Worth a look). CK 2998 tropical 2998-1 lollipop still tops at $143,235. 145.012 sample again carries the Red Racing SP outlier, now $181,503 (next highest $51,531 Ultraman). 145.022-68 tightest pool: 9 listings, $5,153–$10,574. One explicit 'No NASA' 145.022-71 at $10,970. The '220 error' 145.022-69 is still listed, $5,096. Coordinator spot-checks reproduced two listings exactly from live pages. Prices as listed in USD.

No 'Pardon Our Interruption' or CAPTCHA this week. CK 2915: zero complete vintage watches (one genuine CK 2998 at $29,500 plus crown parts and reissues).

One explicit 'No NASA' 145.022-71 at $10,991. A URL re-verification pass confirmed every listing ID; one 105.003 card's page text read $9,844 while its rendered image showed $9,900 — page text recorded. Prices as listed in USD.

Chrono24 sweep: 9 references, 175 listings captured. BLOCKED: Cloudflare 'Verify you are human' challenge on chrono24.com; CAPTCHA preference 'ask', no user channel on this detached run so the challenge was not solved (same block as 2026-10-03 and four consecutive nightly scans). Figures carried forward from the 2026-09-26 check with the original as-of timestamp. Nothing invented. Chrono24
eBay sweep: 9 references, 223 listings captured. CK 2915: only 1 complete watch in the 25 (a 2915-2, $51,773); the rest parts and modern noise. CK 2998 dominated by modern CK2998 LEs (true 2998-3 at $24,949.95, two 2998-6 at $17,500/$16,998). 105.002 noisiest: 3 true in 24. 105.003: 7 true in 24, one reduced $15,000 → $9,950. 105.012 mix of watches and parts; A.C.P.

Chrono24 sweep: 9 references, 154 listings captured. BLOCKED: Cloudflare 'Verify you are human' bot challenge on the first search; the stored CAPTCHA choice is 'ask' and this run has no user channel, so the challenge was left unsolved and the task closed. No new Chrono24 data collected — figures shown for Chrono24 on this page are carried forward from the 2026-09-26 check with their original timestamp. Nothing invented. Example search: 145.022-69
eBay sweep: 9 references, 223 listings captured. ST 145.022-68: 183 results, 25 sampled. ST 145.022-69: 75 results, 25 sampled. ST 145.022-71: 181 results, 25 sampled. eBay returned near-matches and parts (bezels, movement, bracelet) inside these queries; several listings appear in more than one query and are flagged as cross-query duplicates in notes. Japanese dealer listings carry +$35 shipping plus estimated import fees not included in listed price. Seller type uses eBay's own item-page labels for the final batch (dealer vs private); first batch used 'unknown' throughout. All prices as listed in USD; no conversion. Example search: 145.022-71
Chrono24 sweep: 9 references, 173 listings captured. CK 2915: tiny pool of 4 — two genuine 2915s ($95,000 and $54,034), one miscategorized X-33, one dial-only part (price on request). 2998 results mix vintage with modern CK2998 reissue LEs (flagged). 145.022-68 search was the cleanest pool (13, all transitional). Miscategorized/racing outliers flagged in notes. Listing dates not visible on cards, so all listed dates are null. Site currency set to USD; prices as listed. Example search: 145.022-69
eBay sweep: 9 references, 225 listings captured. Noisiest search of the day — variant suffixes treated as keyword noise; the -68 search returned the whole 145.022 family. Two field-report details did not survive transcription (see raw/2026-09-12/_corrections.md). Example search: 145.022-69
Chrono24 sweep: 9 references, 154 listings captured. CK 2915: nothing on offer. Cleanest grouping: the explicitly-labeled 145.022-68s. Listing dates not visible on cards, so all listed dates are null. Chrono24 Speedmaster search
How to read this page
Asking prices are what sellers want — they are not values, and they are not what watches sell for.
Listed counts are what each marketplace reports; our sample is the first page of each search, reviewed by hand.
Prices appear in the currency listed — nothing is converted.
Auction items show the current bid at check time, not a final price.
Exceptional pieces (gold cases, Ultramans, tropical dials) can stretch a reference’s range far above its middle — the median is the steadier number.
Off the board means a listing no longer appears in our nightly checks — it may have sold, been withdrawn, or left the first page of sweep coverage. Removal is noted, never presented as a confirmed sale.
