    If the crystal was right then I'd buy it just for that but I don't think it is - it looks too domed and the date window is rectangular when I think it should be more trapezoidal.

    Great tri-compax Ref 22541 on eBay exactly as per the example in Sala.

    One thing to watch out for is that I think the lower pusher is a brass replacement. It's fairly clear from the pictures once you know but not mentioned in the listing.

    .....except that it is a redial. I've never seen UG dial printing to make space for lume plots like that.

    Should we worry that the watch is in Brazil while the company claims being a US company? Also they claim that the pushers are "awesome" and the movement mechanical automatic... Not great description overall but pusher aside, the watch looks good to me too....

    I think on this item it may be important to note the wording of the "auction end"
    "This listing was ended by the seller because the item was sold."

    I believe this means that the seller struck a deal with either one of the bidders or with another party, probably for more than shown.

    I may be wrong but I think that particular explanation indicates that the seller accepted the highest bid at that time, which I believe is the price shown of $11,000.

    If a deal is struck outside of eBay (this is increasingly frowned upon by eBay), then I think the seller has to choose from a number of limited explanations such as the item has been lost, is no longer available or there was a mistake in the listing.

    This is one of the California crooks that are always offering fakes. Check out the trash in past sales:

    can't tell if people are being taken in by this, or they are selling to their own shills

    Hey, snap! Mine has the same case reference and is very close in serial number. I was wearing this just last night.

    Nice watch, but ships to CONUS only! Someone could get a bargain I think.

    It's a lovely design. The patina on your dial is charming.
