I knowledge this sentiment - but my point that a 105.012 for $5400 (as it was, now $7,500) is something interesting and worth discussing on this knowledge led forum.
This forum has a history of offering price predictions on watches actively on sale at auction. Many of us enjoy threads like this, following an auction and hearing discussions regarding the attractiveness and integrity of the watch. This watch has been on sale for months. Only now is it offered at auction, and an interesting price - it was not interesting before. So surely a legitimate subject for discussion.
Will a potential buyer be forced to pay more as a result of this thread? Its a fair point to consider. I think not.
I have always thought a correctly listed item on Ebay is NEVER going to fly under the radar.
Like all vintage watches, it is about finding the sweet spot where price meets attraction. Once the price goes too high then its out of the running.
Why is there uneasiness here? I can see it might be because I said
I liked it for the price. (which at the time was 5400)
I think I will choose my words more carefully in future, but I will keep posting threads about speedmasters....I like them, and like reading about them, and what people think about them
