One owner watch I imagine. Bidding already up to £17.5k (which I believe is cheap for this model). What do we think it will go for?

 

bidding with no inside shots?

 

Nope, this is the closest thing to an inside shot we have

 

I've handled this: non-runner; lots of movement in the bracelet; caseback can't be taken off with a wrench and small case holder. Cosmetically good. All original.

I suspect this came from South Africa - nothing to corroborate this except I believe I know who is offering it.

 

32k inc. fees. I wonder if we will be seeing this watch again, or if it will go off to a private collection

 

I hope this is not the price way that als Omegas go......

 

If the omega 1040 would have the same 'chronomatic' print on the dial, being the 1st omega automatic chronograph, the price would most probly go even higher than this, if the basis of the price is only that print.

 

I’m getting priced out of this hobby.

 

I think the Autavia is a liiiiiitle bit more valuable, considering it’s not just Heuer’s first automatic chronograph - it’s the first automatic chronograph period.

Oh yeah and then there’s this guy....

 

i remember a friend who swapped his mint heuer shiffert chronomatic (4yrs ago i think) with omega bullhead for a swap value of $4,000. he must be rushed to the hospital right now.

 

Jesus, even 4 years ago a Siffert Chronomatic would have been in the 5 figures
