Yep at the low end that'd the bargain of the year! I'll take several!

Think the extras (although its not obvious due to the extensive small print) is + vat(17.5%) + 15/20% buyers premium.

: Mark

: You have raised the $10,000 (or more) question.

: The simple answer for the number of registered bidders is that men
: are lazy and shop last minute. Have you ever been to the mall in
: the 24th of December???

: As for the values, you are no longer dealing with a commodity.
: Example, an Ebay Viceroy is worth $1200-$1500. Easy to value.

: Every one of Arno's watchs is by virtue of being in his book a one
: of a kind. No longer a commodity but a single purchase of
: passion and very difficult to value.

: As for the estimates itself some I see as expensive and some down
: right cheap.

: Take Lot No: 41 MONACO Ref. 73633 G, 1971for example. At the low
: end we have $4800 for a NOS Monaco. Take into account that it
: has an original band and box that is worth
: comfortably $1200 we have a NOS Monaco head for $3600!!! Yes I am
: aware that I need to add buyers premium but still a good price.

: The dark horse in all this is the number of Rolex and Patek
: collectors that may be awakened to the joys of Heuer. The most
: expensive item in the auction has a high estimate of $24,000.
: Nothing to a Patek collector.

: The short answer to your question, not the first clue.

: Hope that helps.
