Hey gang,

The 2998-5 at EW appears to have finally sold.

Anyone here pick it up?

Wrist shots please!

 

Oh, interesting.
Wasn't me. I'm still searching for my 2998.

 

not surprised after the 2.EB 2998s went for $15k and $14k. The EW watch had a nice 7912/6 bracelet too.

 

FYI, I don't see any straight lug Speedies (2998, 105.003) for sale on EBay. Supply is drying up.

 

yep. in general, i believe supply for good vintage watches is at a low.

 

Quiet for the summer?

 

There are seasons? I had no idea.

 

I've seen some of those.. it is my first watch season summer.

Hopefully there's a good barn find or two, just to keep it interesting.

 

Nice piece, but $15.5 uff! I need to graduate before moving up to that Speedy level regardless of the season...

 

Regarding the last few auctions I don't even think that price is crazy..

There are a few 2998's and 105.003's on chrono24 still although they are no longer on eBay..

 

There is another one phenomena with the 2998. It appears that some merchant didn't really update their prices on this model or at least didn't follow the trends of the last month. Consequently, it is possible to find in some merchant store Nice 2998 at a price Level which is similar to Ebay it even forum prices (generaly prices are far higher in vintage shop than on internet). One exemple in Paris, A. De Macedo is currently selling a very Nice 2998-6 , all original, with 2 years guarantee for 12k euros.

 

Ok I'll jump on the train to Paris right now

 

I looked on their website for it. Not there any more

 

Yep - my sales of new watches do drop off in the summer months. Repairs are constant though...

 

Watch shows are dead slow in Summer as well. Good time to do some watch fishing

 

never been on the website. Need to enter the shop to see all the watch for sale.

There was a show with the museum few weeks ago in this shop, still some pieces there (2915-1 nice! not for sale of course ) and 2 straight lugs (2998-6 and 105003) and one speedymoon for sale.
