What the sales say

14 sold results feed this range, 12 eBay sales and 2 auction results. The oldest sale listed here is dated March 12, 2024 and the newest October 3, 2026, a span of about 31 months. The peak month for transactions was May 2026 (2). On the auction side, the results are from Monaco Legend Group, Rago and Antiquorum. The label is moderate confidence, which suits a reference with a fair, not deep, run of sales. The newest sale is 23 days old. Too few sales landed in the past 90 days to rate how much prices swing. A fair price for the 118208 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Because it changes hands rarely, a sale still counts for half after 180 days.

Year on year, the median sale is up 27.8% (7 sales against 7).

Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 20% less; that discount comes from 20 watch-only results in the same family. Paperwork varied: 5 complete, 0 bare, 4 incomplete. The floor of the list (September 12, 2025, on eBay, fair condition, set not stated) is about 63% below the worth-about figure, and its ceiling (April 25, 2026, at Monaco Legend Group, partial set) is about 50% above the worth-about figure.
