I'm all for snipers. It makes eBay into a sealed bid auction. You bid your best price and others will do the same. Someone wanted that piece more than you did, and they "put their money where their mouth is". (Old American saying).
An hour's work with a Blitz cloth, some high grit sandpaper for the crystal and Polywatch and that watch may resell for four figures.
Remember that Seamaster Chronometers are far rarer than Constellations. Collectors generally prefer stainless steel to gold-capped or plated.
I think someone got a bargain. Should have been you.
Might have been me, if I had seen it.
