I agree with you. The crazy part of this one was the estimate of $5,000 to $8,000. We have previously discussed some of the games that get played with these estimates. With all due respect to Antiquorum, I am guessing that they are clueless about the actual market prices of these watches.

Every day, on eBay, we see dozens of Heuers listed at silly high prices. Then they sell a $10K watch for $25K. Yes, it can get confusing.

: Jeff,

: my opinion is that, while the demand is extremely strong for the
: early screw-back cased Autavia,
: there is not so much interest for these compressor cased.

: The auctioneed sample was also the later execution with black
: striped indexes,
: that's always been the less desired.

: I feel less surprised from this auction result, than from the 25k
: usd of the 3646 with big registers.
