They will be a good investment watch to own
It's worth remembering that there were over 20,000 W10s issued in 1967-70 so they are not a rare watch at all. Personally, I think prices have peaked; you should be able to get a beater for £350 and a decent one for £450. I'd never pay more than about £470 for one.
(Chancers and dealers ask more, but whether they get their price is another matter; mind you, watches from dealers should come serviced and with a warranty which is worth a bit but these are fairly simple watches with a plentiful supply of pare parts as they just have an Astral 27CS movement.)
Also, ebay is a good place to sell them but not such a great place to buy: I'd try a specialist forum such as tz-uk or mwr.

Cracking watch the Monster, I have a black one currently sitting on a Super Engineer II bracelet. Love it!
A severe lack of Chinese watches on this thread so let's put that right, I have become a huge fan of the likes of Beijing, Sea-gull and Shanghai watches over the last few years, they make some beautiful mechanical watches with in house movements that are fantastic value for money and are gaining a reputation that is gradually emerging from the mountain of crap China is famous for.
Today I am wearing my beautiful Beijing Zhufung(Everest), it has the superb hand wound SB18 movement and comes with a lovely Alligator strap.

My latest acquisition is this Sekonda 25 jewel Automatic.
I bought this for the movement in it. It is a Russian, Slava 2427 Twin Barrel (2 mainsprings), Day/Date.

Another movement to get familiar with, so I will take it apart and give it a service It has a date quickset 'pin' that is just above the winding crown and is depressed with something like a toothpick.
Looks like a 70's design case thats in good condition as is the dial. The watch is running very well and keeping excellent time.
£26 inclusive of Special Delivery off eBay
