: I believe the auction was a reasonable success, i do not think it
: heralded new territory for Heuer collecting or values.

: I only kept an eye on Monacos and Silverstones. Silverstones
: considering they appeared very good to mint and had
: stickers/bracelets did not achieve high values, but confirmed
: that blue is the top of the market (only colour which had no
: original sticker and made 400Euro more than next highest from
: memory). Monacos were as expected, there or thereabouts the
: lowish reserves, not the best examples as most had dial isssues
: although some had nice cases & stickers, so prices about
: right. The odd ball was the last Monaco lot which went for
: 5000Euro plus. Still unsure as to why, perhaps someone else can
: shed some light on this lot? Back case was stamped with numbers
: and incorrectly listed as 1965, however if it was a 1965 example
: that would explain high relative price ;-) !!!

: Bunds did go for stronger money, but overall i suspect volume of
: product and relative quality + lack of manufacturer support was
: reason prices were not higher at this auction...

: I'm not sure this has done much other than slightly raise the
: profile a notch, long term collectors i'm sure will be thinking
: of next year and the events to come...
