For those that like to keep track, the Clymer Gold Polerouter went for USD 24k and some (which I assume is with commission since it was 20k or so earlier in the day). Great timing with the UG re-release hype + the well articulated article about rationalising the reasons for selling certainly helped. Also, as someone has already said, this is likely all the justification needed for the new Polerouter launches being 10k+ watches...

Anyone know if that’s an auction record for any polerouter?

Could this be 24k HK$ which is about 3100 US$? Many of the other items sold for very high prices. Seems something is off.

Yikes! Looks like “buy and hold” is or has been a good strategy for UG. We are pumping the brand again. So blatant ….Is the strat now pump and dump?

I felt strongly that the estimate was around 50% low, but am a little surprised at $24K. Although, it looked to be in spectacular condition and I'm sure some bidders thought the Clymer provenance added value.

Several items that sold way above the estimate just don’t make sense, like an everyday new Daytona 126500LN for $40k. There are many new Daytona Panda for sale unworn for $30k.
