How reliable is this? Low confidence.
There is little closely matched evidence, so treat this as a rough guide. There were no South African comparables and no confirmed sales. The range comes from only two international dealer asking prices for the same reference, 6239, and one of them has no date. The listing doesn't give the dial type or dial originality, and that is what drives value for this reference.
The asking price is R 248 073,02 (17.6%) below the bottom of this range.
Based on asking prices, not confirmed sales, so actual selling prices may be lower.
The asking price is USD 70,000 (R1,157,674). Two international asking prices for steel 6239s convert to about R1.41m–R1.46m, so this watch is roughly R250,000–R300,000 below that benchmark. The benchmark is built from asking prices only, not completed sales, so the real gap could be smaller. A price this far under other dealers' asks is a reason to check the dial, hands, pushers and movement for originality before reading it as a bargain.
What could change this: The dial type and its originality. A replaced, refinished or service dial, or service parts, would justify this price and could make it fair or even full. An original exotic ("Paul Newman") dial would be worth many times the ask and would need expert authentication.
Missing evidence: No South African sales or listings of a 6239 were found. No recent confirmed international auction results were retrieved. Shipping, insurance and import duty/VAT costs for bringing an international comparable into South Africa were not available, so no landed cost is estimated. The amounts above are straight currency conversions only. A WatchCharts aggregate market price of USD 124,650 (Aug 2026) suggests the wider market may be higher still. It could not be checked by dial type, so it was not used in the range.
