In Response To: EBay and Dealers, as Well ()

I saw this one on a reputable site for a shop in Lymington, Hampshire. Just looked again and it's now sold.

For 4 grand!!!
Dear oh dear. Maybe the buyer has got a spare 1133 dial kicking about...

: yes, ebay is the usual outlet for these, but they make there way
: into all the channels. A few days ago, we found one listed by a
: reputable Boston shop, at $6,000, and we discussed it on this
: forum . . . mismatch of case, movement and (awful) refinished
: dial.

: . . . fortunately, that listing has been deleted, but I suspect
: that we will see the watch again. Throwing this one in the
: trash-can or parting it out might be the right thing to do . . .
: instead, it may get put back to a seller or customer who will
: try it again. The "delta" between $1,000 worth of
: parts and the $6,000 that might be received for the watch is
: just too tempting.
