Hi all, This weekend their is an auction with a few speedsters coming in Stockholm, Sweden. It´s the action house Kaplans (i´m not affiliated with them by any means, nor do I have any watches to sell). One of the Speedsters will reach almost 50 000USD or maybe even more. http://www.kaplans.se/sv/auktioner/3218/vara/1320756 They also have a 105.012 CB-case with I do follow since I have a similar one. I wonder how much the polished case affect it´s price. Opinions? http://www.kaplans.se/sv/auktioner/3218/vara/1320756 Regards PL
The missing facets on the lugs aren't the only problem with that watch. Wrong chrono hand, wrong (modern) bracelet and a rather unattractive dial don't bode well for a high hammer price.
Looks like it's 60 000 usd already (?), must be high for such a boring model. What's funny is that they rate the movement at 7/10 even though the chrono function doesn't work. Some nice JLCs in the catalogue though.
Are you guys talking about the same watch? The 2998-1 does even have a bracelet. Irrespective, that is a lot of money for a watch.
