What the sales say
We count 9 transactions toward its estimate, every one of them an eBay sale; the earliest entry shown is from April 2024, the latest from June 2026. No month was busier than June 2026, when 2 changed hands. The label is moderate confidence, which suits a reference with a fair, not deep, run of sales. It has been 118 days since the last result, a long gap by market standards. There were too few sales in the last 90 days for a volatility label. A fair price for the 79178 can sit anywhere from about 35% below to 35% above the midpoint. Sales are thin, so older results keep their weight longer (a half-life of 180 days).
On a like-for-like annual view the median eased 15.9%, comparing 4 recent sales with 5 earlier ones.
Sellers without the original box and papers should expect roughly 17% less; that discount comes from 35 watch-only results in the same family. Set details where stated: 3 with box and papers, 0 without, 5 with one or the other. At the bottom of the list is a sale from November 9, 2024, on eBay, full set, about 30% below the worth-about figure; at the top, October 23, 2025, on eBay, partial set, about 13% above the worth-about figure.
