I was keeping an eye on this but figured it would go for bigger money than I was prepared to pay.

Sure enough - hammed price £8,800 + buyer's premium = £10,912 or ~$15250 ~€12,500

Now, it looks like a lovely watch - box, papers, the lot. Question, though - is that lume a bit too yellow? Is it too even?





Does anyone else think it must have been relumed, or is it so original and basically unworn that it's just evenly discoloured?

 

I’m suspicious. But it’s also possible the color balance has been messed with in the digital photos?

 

Uncertain smile this dial offers..anyone else who thinks this is unusual at best?

 

Looks somehow well composed..

 

There is a parallel thread on this watch

 

Was discussed on this too.

The colour in the photo was terrible. In hand, the watch was simply unworn; kept in a box for decades; came from South Africa.
