·We are lucky to be able to vicariously watch this saga. I'd prefer to win the pools and actually buy it.

·Are you going after it?
Hahaha! I think you've drastically overestimated the depth of my pockets 😉
This level of watch is purely a spectator's sport for me at this stage of life. There is the kids' college funds... 😒
Gotta say, though... this is the nicest dial (assuming that's not damage at the top right) I've seen on a Speedy of this vintage. That lume... 🥰

Still underway... bidding sits at just under $55,000 and plenty of active bidders. I'm thinking it will definitely end up over $100k.

As a well respected member once said, if you want one, you will (probably) have to buy one with issues. You just have to know what the issues are.

·There appears to be a mark on the dial at 2 o'clock and this could be the crystal - but we need to clarify. If its on the dial then you can cut the value in half.
Based on these additional pictures posted, I would say that the mark around the 7-8 minute markers is a ding on the Crystal and not damage to the dial.
Notice that in every picture it seems to "move" depending on the angle the picture was taken and you can see the shadow it casts on the dial.

·I just drew the same arrows and circles in photoshop.. you beat me to the post. 😀
You can see that there are two light sources by the two shadows cast by the lollipop hand, so it does appear to be just shadows from the light sources cast on the dial.
