Some will pay the "brown" premium, others won't.

 

Its not very brown anyway, just getting there.

 

I love it! if that sells anywhere near that price, those of us with strong chocolate dials and blue/gray bezels will be sitting pretty.

 

Beautiful watch watchknut...Enjoy...,

 

The watch offered for sale is in very nice condition. Love the fade on the dial perimeter and I think it'll sell quickly.

 

I agree.

 

It's a high price but that's a truly fantastic example - top-notch DON, 1039 bracelet. Nice shade of brown on the dial too.

IMO if this wasn't a brown dial, this could bring close to $7k; worse watches with brown dials have sold around 7-8k so I think for someone with cash to burn, this might do very nicely for their collection.

 

The DON is indeed amazing, but there are enough of these 69's around (non-brown, to be sure) that I think this $11k instance might sit for a while.
