I was browsing the internet and found this Rolex Milsub for auction with an interesting story.

Replaced insert..But nice watch all the same!

 

And a double ref too!

 

Very Nice!

 

would love one just not the price

 

I am sure it will go higher than the estimate more so that its a double ref.

 

Just needs a 60min insert to be a real show winner, the condition is amazing.

 

That actually would be an absolute bargain price if the watch is as described.

 

I think so too, but I will expect to see over 100000usd final bid.

 

The big boys are aware of it, it will not go cheap.

 

I have been furnished a detailed report of the watch with lots of pictures included. Unfortunately I cannot share it here due to the confidentiality clause. Anyway, the pictures show that indeed its stamped 5513 and 5517.

 

Anyone know what it went for in the end? I don't have an account with them so it's not showing.

 

£116k Ash

 

Thanks. They're not getting any cheaper!

 

Couple of guys I know were underbidders in the room, strong money for one that needs an insert though.

£140k finished maybe?

 

Soooo want one of these - my grail - will probably never get one.

The watch that got me into watches.
