    Was watching this one today.
    Hammer went down....inc the auction fee at 16520 GBPS

    This particular brand is not my forte but. The dial/lume seems off. Hands appears to be relumed. Dial seems to lack lume.. However seems to not have affected the interest. Am I missing something or indeed this is the current state of the market?
