This 2947 sold today on the bay for a premium (IMHO) due to the co-branded 'Turler' dial. No movement pics, no extract, and not the most correct listing text - so I was kinda hoping it would go under the radar, but clearly not the case. Does the new owner call OF home? There were more than 2 motivated bidders, I just hope it went to collector and fellow OF member.

Would love your thoughts on the collectability/ premium of co-signed dials on early 321s.

If you're only collecting 1 type of thing after one point they become valuable because you run out of things to buy, and if 1+ people are doing the first thing, I think what you observed happens

Probably because of the size of the hobby, it's usually 2 motivated bidders just stabbing each other, so usually when a second one enters the market it goes for a lot less

But honestly this watch is just in incredible condition, at least to me, so maybe the sub dial didn't even play a part, can you pm me how much it sold for, just curious
