·Well I don’t care what the OP motives are, I am glad he posted and glad to be able to read the story and see the watch.

·It's crazy how low they all went, not only the Speedies. Maybe bidding was a hassle as previously mentioned
I think results on this auction were low all over, and I personally believe that it has something to do with Bukowskis' format of selling watches in "As found" condition with replacement service parts, and original/replaced parts presented in vails and baggies with the lots. 😵💫
Let's face it, when buyers buy watches at auction for premium price (with buyer's premium + VAT + shipping added on top) they expect a "Wrist ready" watch.
If you're selling me a project watch at auction, you'll get project prices...
Selling watches "As found" might pay off when you have a true untouched watch in stunning condition (such as the 275K 2915-1), but when a watch has already been messed with and had parts changed, if you're an auction house, put in the effort of "prepping" it a little bit and don't give me the parts in a vail for me to have a nice project that I paid a premium for...
Also let's not forget that pretty much most the watches in this auction were in mediocre condition (at best).
No real stunners.
Examples in mint/untouched condition can drive bidding up to double if not triple market price as bidders are bidding for the opportunity to ever finding another example in stellar condition. In this auction, we've seen none of these examples.

·I have little knowledge of 2915 price trends and I think a lot of the comments here have been well said, but does anyone think that the fact that it was a 2915-2 had something to do with it?

If this 2915-2 was in the exact same condition as the previously sold 2915-1, it would fetch a very similar price.

·As far as the dates on the pics, if you like I can take a pic of my dog and change the metadata to say it was taken in 1925..
You've got a 94 year old dog? 😕

·I see some good deals...
Well there also some decent results for a couple of other Omega watches.
Lot 9, a 2648 Connie which looks pretty much unworn and has a dial I've never seen before, went for a not inconsiderable 5000 SEK + fee's
and Lot 40, a venerable 2846 Seamaster, OK, nice condition and in rose gold, but not even chronometer spec. went for 38000 SEK + fee's
I think there'll be a few kicking themselves as to not having put a bid in on Lot 31, the 2914 Railmaster which hammered at 75000SEK. Although not perfect, that's only about 50% of what most dealers/sellers are asking for these days...

Lot 9 I thought was the omega to pursue - the finest condition first generation 2648 omega constellation I have ever seen. And in rose gold with original strap, buckle and tag.

·I was bidding on the 2648 but the winning bid was far away from my max. bid. What a stunning watch.

·My god some results are so low ! I didn't follow the sale but I suppose there was a problem with bidding...
Lot 11 and 87 were unsold so I contacted the auctioneer and bought them in "after sale".

·Just been through the results and wow there was some really cheap stuff in there. I guess it’s going to leave them with a bit of a problem, who would want to sell their 2995 with them in the future ?

·From seller's point of view the hammer prices are poor and don't reflect the market. Should I ever consider to sell a watch at an auction house, from now on Bukowskis will be the last on my list.
