So Philips are selling one of the incredibly rare Mir 365 watches that spent a year aboard the international space station. What’s your guess and the result? $80k seems about right to me.

 

Far less I think, though I won’t venture a guess, and am often surprised by suction.. er I mean auction prices.

Although “flown” these just don’t have “the right stuff.”

 

...which speaks to the larger issues with the bubble that is the watch market right now....a few years ago, $5k for any Speedmaster, other than one actually flown by one of the Apollo members with full provenance, was ridiculous.

 

That can be added to the shoulda coulda woulda list Ash. Final price about £175,000 inc. fees

 

What is your definition of “a few years”?

 

This speaks to my age I guess- arent Levi’s still $19 a pair?? And made in the US?

 

Listen here Sonny.
I remember when Wrangler Jeans were $5.99.

 

Yeah, and a Speedmaster was $199.

 

Nick Hacko is sitting on one, No 7/28.

He could probably be tempted by the right offer.

 

The right offer may have just gone up considerably

 

I had one and sold it for good money but not close to this amount. 2 years ago one was sold in Australia for 35k if I recall correctly
