Prices on Hodinkee?

[BLACKHORSE 6]

I'm sure that a lot of people on TRF are also Hondinkee readers as well, and know that a few months ago they started selling watches from their web-sight.

My question is whether or not the prices at Hodinkee are in line with the market at large, or if the prices are inflated because it's Hondinkee?

Most of the watches they sell seem to be vintage, so I understand that condition is a large factor. For instance, there was a 1680 Submariner with a list price of 15k. The watch seemed to be in great condition, but the bracelet isn't original to the watch and it was some stretch.

How do they compare to HQ Milton or the other respected vintage sellers?

The only place I checked against was here on TRF. There was another 1680 sub in good condition for considerably less.

They are expensive, but since they are Hodinkee people pay a premium for obscure brands like Enicar.
