See: any Heuer Viceroy Autavia on the web in the last few months. Worth US $2000-2200 (maybe 2500 for the best) in top condition w/original (non-GF) bracelet, everyone's asking between $2850-3950 nowadays - and they just sit there

I know...and so hard to find one from a smoke-free home.

Probably why there's always so many of them showing up on the market.

Walked into a vintage watch boutique in the Burlington Arcade. Saw this Constellation Deluxe in the window. Just wanted to have a look. Alligator strap, so no gold. Original 18K buckle though, according to the seller. cal 561. One spot on the dial. £7000!

Would be interesting to know what sort of turnaround time they're calculating with.

It is amazing to view . I have have watched them come into Somlo and pay ridiculous amounts for a redialed Omega.
