    Interesting...

    http://m.ebay.ca/itm/171791056118Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    And I had gixen all lit up and ready to go.

    I think someone got a deal.. at last check it was bid up to a whopping $327 or so.

    will we see the bridge show up for auction soon?

    I hate when that happens. When there's something I really want with low bid activity I have found success with messaging the seller to make sure they don't end early without giving me the opportunity to give a best offer

    the movement ring is for a seamaster; so the excerpt will state no speedmaster origin..... but still good to have ! kind regards. achim

    Can we get an extract for an early watch? My understanding that as the early 321's were assembled at Lemania the Archives will not verify these early serials, not anymore.

    Yea in the past they used the honour system, the description you gave with the serial was what appeared on the certificate, now they refund your money and don't issue a cert.

    I have tried for an extract for a 2998-4 and a 105.002. Both rejected saying they didn't have information from this era.

    I contacted the seller of this one and asked why the auction was ended early. He said it was an error in the listing as it was listed for a 2886 but was actually for a 2915. Expect to see it back up but for a much higher price.
