    This one deserves bonus points for the remarkably wanky description:

    It is already down to $7,500
    poor dial condition, cracked crystal, scratched case back. I wouldn't buy it at 10% of the offered price. The only nice thing is complete set box & paper.

    Boy, I hope so because then I could part out my 1969 Bulova Sea King which has a silver wavy textured Speidel Flex-O-Matic band.

    So the $4K+ price on that 1st one must not be the Flex-0-Matic bracelet then?

    Sonning Vintage are always at least £1,000 GBP over the market value - often more, and often for a re-dial, into the bargain. It's kind of a badge of honour for them. The strange thing is, they seem to sell their stock just fine . . . ::confused2::
