    This seller, villagegoodies has posted two 321 Speedmasters today - this '68 for only $9,998 too:

    Maybe they do this frequently, and I apologize if that's the case. I just happened to see these two for the first time today. Their prices, to my novice eye, seem to be a bit optimistic.;)

    Yes, over-priced, the 2998 especially.

    I don't think the seller read the "bubble" memo.

    Saw that yesterday and audibly laughed. Hey, all it takes is one sucker, I guess.

    Granted the asking price is too high but, except for the Seamaster bracelet and newer crown, it does appear correct. Dial, hands, bezel, movement number, case, pushers seem ok to me.

    Yeah the laugh had nothing to do with the actual watch. Simply that it was priced at 2x what it should have been.

    Ha! Not exactly. The '68 was $9998 when I posted the link. So now it's "35% off" of $12,999. So a bargain price of only $8,124.

    Went ahead and picked up the 2998. Probably a little overpriced, but I think will be good value in the near future. Pics when it arrives!

    PS. a lot of room for negotiation obviously, so feel free to haggle over the other pieces if something caught your interest.
    PPS. Thanks to Marc for his help here @gemini4

    Congrats !
    This 2998 is a nice and honest watch.
    I'm a little surprised it took so long to sell : there is a HUGE demand for 2998's...
