I know this watch was discussed previously but I can't find the thread. Have to admit, I dod not see this extremely strong result coming: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261153022179?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Congrats to the new owner (especially if he's here) and I guess the rest of us had better raise our game next time.

The watch has to be a better target for me to raise my game. Too many question marks surrounding that particular one.
Yes, I read your misgivings and I hear you on them. But one has to wonder if 2-3 bidders were willing to pony up that kind of dough, did they really do so in ignorance of these potential issues, i.e. were they just blinded by its beauty & the rep of the seller? Maybe some paperwork from Bienne would make all the difference on something like this? Best, T.
Assuming that it was a legitimate sale, it simply underscores that a beautiful dial can indeed trump other considerations.
