I have to second the notion that some extraordinary prices are being achieved at the moment ( especially with rarer executions ) .
It makes it difficult to estimate values - just as Jeff discovered with the sale of his 3646 Autavia.

Maybe we collectors need to reset out boundaries in terms of prices. The informal open chronotrader auction style may indeed be a great format for those special pieces. It will allow forum users access to a special watch, it will openly find the market value of a specific model & achieve a max. sale price for the seller.

Its still rather a shock when we see these values being realised but i fear they are not going to fall back to the levels we were familiar with only 2 years ago. I may well see myself as a hoarder/holder collector rather than a potential buyer.

Fame & recognition come at a price, the secrets out - Heuer's are now cool !!!
