Seen this - Steve McQueens Lemans watch for auction - $200k

Someone just sent me this link to an article talking about what is supposed to be Steve McQueens actual watch from the LeMans movie that is up for auction. There is a link in the article to the actual auction. Starting bid is $200K which seems high considering the last one like this sold for $80K or so and it was supposed to be the original one from the movie. I know there were supposed to be 7 from the movie and not sure which one this is. Has the certificate and say a letter from Prop master. (i've done quite a bit of research on this watch for personal reasons)
Thought I would pass it along for opinions. There is lots of other cool stuff from the movie in the auction as well. (as well as some cool stuff from the Godfather)
