If I'd known it would go that high I would definitely have passed on the info. To be honest though, I had no idea it would go for that amount. I figured it would just break £2k so the deal didn't seem so good at the time.

I presume the the seller was pleasantly surprised as £2k cash was their suggestion.

D'ya think? Helluva lot of scratches for a case that's been polished. How can you tell it's been polished vs 50 odd years of wear?

I don't think the back is too polished for one of these at all. They rarely come minty.

The slope of the two steps has been nearly completely wiped off. 🙁
Overall, hardly a poor example.

Yes , sadly, but that was not the point . No one is comparing to a pristine example. Many of these have very worn backs that are far worse at this point in thier lives. Price and condition are two diverging criteria that the enthusiast has to deal with 🙁

I need to retire completely in order to get more spare time to find this kind of stuff.... and watches too.

Dial spotting aside, for a 14K Cal 352 $1k isn't a bad way to go about it
Aged dial early bumper chronometre:

US $887.77

I bid on this, figured it was going to go for about what it did, ended up a few bucks short. That's OK, as I did not want to go more than that just now for that watch. We are heading into watch season soon, so have to be ready.
