It may fetch more, less in the worst case, it all depends on whether it is an auction or a sales add with a firm price.

Looks to be in very nice shape, though judging by the position of the regulator lever, it may be in need of a service?

Good eye, but there is a bit left on the scale. Still, service is most likely in order.

Actually as I mentioned, I was 'disappointed by the watch. It kept good time but had a strange issue, the entire dial will move slightly to the left and right when I try to set hands or wind it. This was what I meant when I said it was flimsy.

Might put it up for sale to see if someone can repair and sell it on or give it more love than I can (it's hard to love an ultra thin watches when my other watch is a 60mm egi).

Looking at pictures seems like missing movement holder screws-movement to case screws.That might cause free play of movement-dial when crown is operating.Or might be recased,universal oftens signed cases so if there is no sign might be recased.
