I was disappointed to miss out on this one yesterday at auction.

Condition looked great but it sold for 5,000 Euros plus 24% commission which seems high.

The only positive I can take is that it had the green bezel insert, which is my least favourite of those that I've seen on this model and I might have spent months looking for a replacement.

Did anyone here purchase it?

 

that has to be a record! with commission, it would make it 7400 euros ...

 

Wow. Without the original bracelet even. Are these really worth anything like this kind of money?

 

I think i'll sell these two ...



and fund my new toy:

 

I'd argue that they've been substantially undervalued for quite some time. Not commonly seen, great unique stylings, in-house automatic movement with micro rotor and high degree of finishing...all of that for less than a Tudor Sub.

 

Tudor Subs are above $8K USD?

I own a much nicer example of the Polerouter Sub that sold. Bought it years ago. Always thought it was something I appreciated but no one else cared about. Getting surprised by the market for all sorts of stuff I bought years ago. Much higher values than I would ever think of paying.

 

No no no, sorry, should've clarified. These generally sell in private transactions for between $3,250 and $4,000. I picked up both of mine for less than $3,500. That money would not even purchase a nice Tudor example.

 

Well, if anyone has a spare they are looking to sell, preferably with the asymmetric case and funky orange minute hand then you know where to come . . .

 

Another rare and beautiful find (apart from crystal) ...
