·On the positive side, it has a meteorite DON bezel.
Except it's not a DON bezel.
So it has a trashed DNN bezel, wrong chrono hand, three wrong subdial hands, the dial has been washed off all lume, the movement is thrashed, and it's missing the dust cover. What a dog.

·On a serious note...if it's even possible to adopt one after looking at this thing...how much do we think it's worth, as is? £2500? Or is that being generous?

It doesn't have much value, even as parts - I don't trust that there are any salvageable movement parts for spares, the case is super thrashed.... I can't find the listing to see more photos but maybe the crown and pushers are usable, the hour/min/chrono sweep could be relumed and used too I suppose. Still not worth too much

··This Space for RentI agree with Larry S. What a story that watch tells!
For example:
The movement probably came from a mafia victim pulled out of the river after a year-long soak.
The bezel was probably found by a plumber, firmly lodged in the blades of a garbage disposal.
The dust cap was probably repurposed as a spoon to give life-saving nourishment to a stray dog that was on its last legs, and would no longer fit back in the case.
Etc...

I wouldn't describe that case as "super thrashed" - it's definitely scratched up, but doesn't look overly polished. It's probably the best part of the whole thing, so that's what $2500 worth of parts? Beyond that it's a basket case.

·I don't see what you're all on about. It's a valuable watch with papers. The paper just happens to be inside the watch. 😜

·A very odd description. "DO NOT SEND ANY EMAIL ADDRESS AS IT WILL BE REPORTED TO EBAY" - why would anyone seriously feel the need to put that?

Yes, there’s a lot of shouting in the listing, I’m most certainly not going to ask 🙄
Had good feedback for selling this recently for just shy of 1,000 quid...
