Crazy... 72 bids, 16 bidders, sold for just under $8k.

 

Wow.

That would be about US$10,500

 

I'll take it! Then I just need the rest of the parts for an early 2998 and I'd be all set.

 

AU$ 14k/10.5k US$

 

£7400 give or take a couple of quid

 

At that price, buyer may want to upgrade from postal shipping in a padded bag.

 

Worth a plane ride maybe...

 

If you got a 2998-1 and missing this piece not a bad score

 

I wold think that is the only scenario here. What would a good 2998-1 go for these days?

 

The Christie's one went for $50K

Actually what would really make it worth while is a 2915-3.

 

FYI this bezel was on this forum, someone came on just over a week ago asking about it, as it was on a later 69 watch. The forum told the OP to pull it from the watch and put it on ebay.

There you go.

I was just about to post it but see that you found it yourself. I noticed the Base 1000 immediately but this price is really incredible!

 

Wow what a great story, and congrats to the seller...and buyer. i imagine both are very happy !

 

It goes to show what a great forum this is. I'm sure the lady who asked for the original opinion of members here is pleased she did!

 

We are so excited! We're graziers in the midst of the worst drought experienced in over 100 years out here in outback Australia, and the proceeds from selling the bezel will be of huge help to us. The help and advice received from this forum has been overwhelming. We're stunned at the sale price! We so appreciate all who helped, thank you

 

Must be a few 2998-1s out there with missing bezels...
