Fees on that house are 22.8 so price would have been £9824 0r roughly $14k.

I was watching and hoping it would slip by.. but those days are gone. Original bracelet there which is nice.. would need restoration. I have a feeling it would clean up very well. The dial and hands look great.

problem with the kits though is any serious collector spending that dosh will know the correct serial number range and get an extract to know your build-a-watch isn't right.

Maybe they are just upgrading a damaged original.

With that BA handset I'd have thought it to be an early 2913, are you sure it was a 14755 and what was the serial number ?
