Anyone know why?

··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.I’m going to go with a very unattractive dial and hand set in person, against a way to ambitious reserve.
That watch is not going to be attractive outside of its catalog glamour shots.

··Pratts! Will I B******S!!!Didn't sell because that's how auctions work. The market determines the value, not the seller or auction house. With no reserve, this watch sells every time.

·They might have had a better shot if it was the actual one actually worn by Sean Connery, but its not a looker

It’s a nice honest looking worn watch. I think that with a higher price point many collectors may be wanting something in better condition.
To me, it’s got an incredible look as well and agree with others above that without a reserve this watch sells well.
