One theory is that this is a reference to dying, among some Native American peoples. I dont know if other countries share the expression, maybe a fellow horologist/etemologist can comment?
OED says it originally referred to a decline in the stock market. South is "down" on most maps.

The Omega thin arrow hammered at £4200 plus 24% buyers premium I think someone got a good deal, they are awsome rare watches that look amazing and a great size.

I think that was quite a strong/fair price in the present market, representing it being a pretty nice example. I would imagine both seller and buyer are happy.

A lovely ww2 pilots hanhart also sold for £3500

Some solid results from that auction. £4500 all in for the monopusher is more than I’d have thought.

Even for a nice one it seems like a great result. I’d be more than happy to get £4k plus for mine.

What year is yours ?
The SN is about 1000 lower than the Tennants one, but not certain what year that makes it. Maybe also 1938, or perhaps slightly earlier.
