Dear Lanny,

first of all: I hope this message finds you doing well. :-)
I had my thoughts too on this subject ... but must say I know too little about the latest price development on these models to participate earlier.
However, my feeling was too, that we should not really be shocked at this auction's price. If it was rather too low, as you expressed, I don't know.... but I thought it turned out approx. where I had estimated it. Maybe a bit too high.
But I sure understand your point.
And ... I love your Seafarer you showed us.
You really are, if I may dare to say so ... one he** of a LUCKY SOB ... which, of course, means STROLLER OF BACKYARDS.
;-)

Enjoy your beautiful model - I especially like it on the bracelet. :-)

Take care,
have a good week,
Cheers,
Olaf
