Good EK II? Opinions please!

[Josh B.]

Hey everyone,

An antique dealer that I'm acquainted with emailed me today and is asking me to make a fair offer on this piece. She says it came out of a vet's estate. Is it good? Note the 'bulge' in the frame where the loop is connected. Is this normal? With all of the fakes going around- which could easily fool me- I generally avoid buying IC's. If it is a good one, what would be a fair offer?

Thanks,
Josh

Looks to be marked 100 on the ring for Wachtler and Lange. The hump the ring is attached to is a characteristic of this maker. It looks good to me. Here's my 100 to compare it to.

Nice mm100, i bought one yesterday on the estand with ribbon $110 which i consider a good price

The rear. The cross you show looks to be in decent condition, although there appears to be a small amount of rust on the core. This is not a rare maker, but a nice one. Maybe offer around $85 US and see what happens.

I'd say around $90 US. Its not in the best shape and doesn't have a ribbon but its a nice piece. But i do have a soft spot for the W&L's

$90 US? Where can you get these for that price? Let me know. Everyone I run into is $100 or more.
