Dammit!!! Cards on the table because that's the way I play- i will be bidding on this- it's one I don't have in my Wyler collection. I hate the idea of getting into a bidding war with one of my brothers/sisters here.
Went for $563. Anyone here get it?
Not me! I topped out a bit lower than that- that price is shocking!
Yeah bad luck buddy somebody wanted it badly. Not me.
It's all good guys- there is a never ending stream of this stuff out there- another just like it (or better) will come along. If this volitle watch market has taught us anything, it's that we can make predictions and speculations on value all we want based on facts and data- but there will always be people who will buy based on emotion and escalate a bidding war. Whoever bought that one got a nice watch and I'm glad they got a prize.
For me, I know what these things are "worth" based on research and experience and will patiently wait for the right one to come along.
On that theme- another watch for which I happily paid $700 for a similar example ended yesterday- I put in a low ball bid and got it for $288. Talk about unpredictable markets!
That was the Oceanographer..? I was bidding on that!!!
Great looking Mondia with stunning dial color. This appears to be from right after the Zenith merger. Looks like it should clean up beautifully.
Seller has decent feedback but is in Turkey so due diligence and PayPal protection (linked to a CC) from that part of the world.

Cool little SS Illinois with power reserve. The lugs are awesome. Needs a crystal and says it runs. It is small at 32mm so for the dainty wristed.
