It says reserve not met at $8000, wonder if it was sold off auction or if will reappear. Seeing what was paid for other write-offs sold recently suprised it didn't go for more? https://omegaforums.net/threads/heavily-damaged-2998-1-2-dial-sells-for-7-200-on-ebay.38693/
This was ended early! It was just listed yesterday with 5 days to go! My first thought is someone offered a BIN price, but he sold a vintage JLC Deep Sea not long ago for 14k and he was having no part of a BIN in that auction? Maybe we'll see it again?
Although I fully understand the history, heritage etc, I just cannot see how a watch that beat cup could be worth that much! As the old adage goes though, it's as valuable as someone is willing to pay.
