What am I missing here?

That it's a private listing so the bidders (i.e.: shill) identities are concealed.

 

That was my assumption. If you're going to shill, wouldn't it make more sense to be conservative and add a few hundred to the closing price? I can't imagine that any real bidder got the top bid here.

 

About 30K US

 

So, how long before it's relisted?

 

Maybe a money laundering scheme?

 

Well, it was a 105.012-66, and it had an unoriginal bracelet. I've got two that I'd part with for only $20,000 each. LOL I imagine it will be back for sale in a little bit.
While we're at it, how about this one.

It has the wrong dial, the wrong bezel (not even a dot over 90), replaced hands and the wrong s/n for a 2998-2 (correct for a 2998-5).
and another

It also has the wrong dial (although it is a radium dial), wrong bezel, wrong sweep second and subdial hands. The s/n however is appropriate for a 2998-2.

 

Not so friendly after all.

Who knows it's a real sale. The buyer thought he was bidding on a Daytona.

 

If you are talking about the bezel on the second one not having the "BASE1000" bezel, I did a lot of research before purchasing mine and a lot of sources stated that the 2998-2 could have either "BASE1000" or DON bezel.
