Hello Yudi,

A good place to check the price is www.chrono24.com

Since this piece you are asking is a 2nd hand, I suppose you should be paying no more than 60 - 70% of the listed price, depending on how old it is.

Hope this helps.

This one is ref 25860, the predecessor of 26300. Given its age, I would imagine a fair market price between 45-55% of the list price of 26300 depending on condition and completeness of the package. Check if there's any discolouration of the dial, the proper functioning of the date wheel, and whether the chronograph functions are working well (eg. if the needles return to their original positions when reset, etc). Make sure the dealer is a trusted one and beware of buying any item with unclear identity (eg. stolen watch). It is always good to check out other good advices by a forum member Submarino in his sticky thread on the front board of this sub forum. Good luck!

Hi everyone thank you for the feedback appreciate it
What is the difference between 26300 and 25860?

Check the service history on the watch. There is a very nice post on the Ap forum as a "sticky" that I think you should read. Good luck and hope that it works out for you.

Definitely read my thread before you buy. Good luck!

Hi everyone I decided to wait for better ap watch, heard too many scary stories with and old ap watch might as well buy a newer series with warranty

Thank you for the advice

Make sure to buy at AD only. Don't trust watch stores there.

I would say that 10-11K is a very good price.. I was looking for a 26300 and almost pulled the trigger on a couple that where $13,500-$14,000 in almost new condition (about a year old)
