Watches of Knightsbridge seems to be having a bit of a Speedmaster-fest next month...

2915-3... very pretty. Http://whitelabel.globalauctionplat...a44500a838b9?clienturl=watchesofknightsbridge

 

Yes, I see 'em - well some (like hands). Still a 2915. How often do they come up for sale?

 

There's a 2913 too (for a lot less).

@micampe, are you listening? That's 2 of 3..

 

well to me there are lots of Speedmasters at WOK.....

But none to buy, this time

 

Received an alert on the 105.003 in that auction. I'm hoping to see what the forum thinks, just to help tune my sniffer.

 

I wonder what the 2915-3 looked like before it went back to Omega.

Shame.

 

With a full bezel too!

LALALALA I don’t hear you.

 

The 105.003 looks handsome. Original as well aside from a bit of a polish. It'll be interesting to see what that goes for.

 

What is everyone's experience with these auctions? Are they a good avenue? I see two watches I'm interested in but have never participated in one -- plus i'm in the U.S. and can't be there in person. Are they worth the fees (i'll get hit with 21%)?

 

WoK are nice blokes in my experience. However, ask for more and better pictures if you can't be there. Then if still interested call them and ask the same questions that you would if you had the watch in your hand, especially their thoughts on original or redone dials which isn't always clear. Normally if they identify the watch with "original dial" they think it is, if it's "dial in excellent condition" it's probably redone. They are experienced people but do make mistakes so get as much info. about the model you're interested in before telephoning them.
