So sometimes there are still relative bargains on ebay...

    This 145.022-76 is one I had in my watch list, not to purchase, but just to see where it went since it's pretty close to the watch I have. The auction ran its course and closed at a much lower price than I would have expected - $2555. I don't really see anything wrong with it, except for the slight dent on the dial near the 80, which the seller pointed out. It has an very clean DNN insert though. If I had to make a guess it's because the seller calls out that the case and band have been refinished. The pictures are a bit soft so it's hard to see just how polished the case is, but it doesn't look terrible from what I can tell.

    I'd say that someone got a bargain there. Bracelet and bezel alone are worth almost the price paid.

    Indeed. Nice tritium dial and hands too. Makes me wonder about the conventional wisdom often posted here of "Just put it up on eBay in an auction starting at $.99 and let the market decide."

    Keep in mind that said conventional wisdom emanates from a pool of potential, often eager, buyers.

    Best guess on this one from me is that it went for at least $1K under what it should have.

    I was watching this auction. The dent kind of put me off, not sure why...

    Looks like it may have a replacement hour hand and chrono seconds hand.

    The pictures are so soft it's hard for me to tell if it is a divot on the lugs, or just a mark.

    Good buy in my eyes.

    Seems like a couple no reserve auctions have sold for less than one might expect in the last couple of weeks.
