Will say this - movement "mystery" aside, that's a hell of a 105.003. Original chamfers still on the thick case (rare), lume is matching, extremely attractive, and fully present. The worn caseback is a bummer, but is the only notable blemish that I could find. I bid 7.5K GPB hoping for people to have auction fatigue after Geneva, but obviously that wasn't even close to good enough. It's expensive, no doubt, but when cleaned up it should be a fantastic example.
Now, if the buyer was buying for reasons other than wanting to own / wear a beautiful Ed White, they may run into issues.
