    Correct. Classically uncommercial. I missed it driving out.

    But for the hands, I’d agree with you.

    We (here at OF) ought to have a line for those looking for any authentic, spare alpha hands.

    If you don’t need any, you’re either not collecting any pre-105.003-63 watches or you’re really, really well off and only buying perfect.

    What a result on the radial dial.:)

    I just sent the results to my friend and told him it was time to upgrade the shoebox he keeps his Speedmaster in along with his other flown watches.

    So 187K for a non-flown radial dial. I wonder how much I had strapped to my wrist with a 3 shuttle mission premium with all its lume on the chronograph hand still intact.

    Lot 43 sold at 12.5k (adding the premium around 15k)! :eek: I don't understand this result...

    I think Sotheby’s is happy with how it went. This was a bit of a test case to focus on Omega. With so much more experience with Rolex sports watches, it’s just harder to tell where these will end up.

    I picked up that Mocha one, no 25. Seeing it live made a big difference to me.

    Could it be that everyone who wanted to bid thought ‘aaaah, big Speedy auction, everyone will bid, thus I’ll not bid’ and thus no one bid? And now everyone is thinking ‘damn, bargains were had, why did I not bid’?

    Quite varying results. Both golden Speedies did very well, 68.750 + 47.500

    It’s that way. I sat in on three via phone. Cheapest one came first so I took it. I was soooo tempted to go for Ultraman. Oh well

    THIS!!!

    I also thought that the TIFFANY & CO double signed went for a "relative" reasonable price...
    (Can't seem to manage to find a picture of the results, so will add pic later...)
