    Pretty cheap. This dial was not very attractive IMO and my guess is that's what kept the bidding down

    I was closely following this auction. Pretty cheap for sure. But as @bgrisso said the dial patina on this one was unattractive which is why I stayed out. But if one doesn’t mind the patina it’s a great deal considering it’s all original.

    love the case, but for that kind of dial I would not really be interested too...

    I thought the case reference was case specific, how could the same reference come in two different sizes? I usually see 22258 listed as 34.5 mm

    When i say the small one, i mean the 34/35mm in opposition to the bigger one (usually powered by the 287) with 37mm

    edit: i didn't read correctly the question by @Renton and my previous answer is incorrect. No, there aren't two sizes for this reference.

    lol, no one, I don't think it exists, I believe that was just a misunderstanding earlier up in the thread......
