Thoughts? Though ShopGoodwill is scarce for bargains these days, this might be a beauty after a gentle scrubbing. Currently at $11,500 and ends tonight.
Anyone seen this 16753 at ShopGoodwill?

·People often pay too much for "barn finds" in bad condition in auctions on eBay/Goodwill. They get attached to the story instead of really looking at the watch. If the new owner cleans it up and tries to sell it privately, he would be lucky to get $10k-$11k IMO given the condition of the dial. These nipple-dial root-beer TT GMTs are nice watches, but have much narrower appeal than stainless/Pepsi examples. The values are not the same.

··Steve @ ΩFTip: when buying a gold bezel watch pay sharp attention to the edge furrows. Being gold They wear much more severely then stainless and can be worn almost flat. This can indicate long or a hard life.
