I think if you are going to ask $20k for a watch, a bit of research is required first. Especially if you are going to specialize in vintage high end watches.

 

This is my point.

 

so what is the consensus view here. . .bain one does not look correct ? (i agree). what about EWC one (which does look correct to me)

 

EWC is a mint example that sold immediatly

 

bain one has an aqua bezel with silver/blue dial. It should have a deep/royal blue bezel that matches more with the blue in the dial from what I've seen of these. Basically the Dial/bezel combo on bain is off by a color scheme.

 

yes agree. . is the red second hand correct on either of them? there are other examples without red seconds ?
pretty sure this one is perfect and correct

yes

 

so the dark blue / gray one had a steel seconds hand that matched the hour/minutes but the light blue exotic had a red seconds ? or was there variation by individual watch ?

 

and does anyone know what the EWC one actually sold for?

 

There were some variations to the hands of these exotic compaxes and UG in general. Its what makes it difficult to appraise re. originality. Here's an article that discusses it to an extent: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/bring-a-loupe-april-21-2017

 

When did the EWC one go up for sale?

 

was on IG. . never made it to their site

 

IG is so annoying...

 

Why? It’s just another channel.

 

Only the buyer and seller know, but can assure you it was a significant amount

 

Sorry, that comment was not to be taken seriously. I'm just generally annoyed by instagram.

 

Good info on this thread. Have to be careful even with big name dealers.

 

come on. . no one here has the price of the EWC watch ?

 

The dark blue version is so
