    Gotta get me a watch with a Portuguese day wheel... 'cause that's what Friday is all about.

    I was going to make a $1 offer until I saw shipping was $100. The seller might agree and I'd be out $101 which would suck. :p

    Besides, at $19,500 don't you think shipping should be free? :rolleyes:

    If Omega cloissone dial could fetch 250K, don't you think 17K for Universal original Cloissone should be reasonable price range?

    The one will be auctioned in Antiquorum estimated at 7K to 10K. http://www.antiquorum.com/catalog/lots/universal-ref-ref-0233-1-lot-273-107?page=1&q=universal

    I wouldn't be surprised if the closing price close to 15K

    In the other hand the one in eBay dial looks cheap compare to the one in Antiquorum. If it is a fake then the value should be less than 1/10 the asking price.

    Honestly, I think any period cloisonne dial is going to be worth a lot over time, there just aren't that many. Its not anywhere near 17k now, but I think a few years from now it will be.

    I much prefer the Pole-rooster.

    Pardon the bad pun, but it has more "universal" appeal.

    Can you create a separate thread about that watch? It really does deserve its own one!

    It would be great to hear the story of how you came to own it as well.
