I was offered this for £2k by the seller for cash on collection. Unfortunately I couldn't make time to travel down so had to pass.

 

Wow. Let us know next time

 

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.

 

MSNWatch, is he a reputable vendor?

 

Amazing!! This didn't spend any time at all on the boards before being snapped up

 

Badly polished caseback.

 

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?

 

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

 

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