As Rich says well, if the truly outstanding pieces are set aside (i.e. very rare and in very good conditions and "hot" in demand), for the limited and later-period pieces that I know a bit, the auction's original estimations were quite high - and in at least one case, very high. I am referring to the lower end of the estimations specifically.
In any case, if this has meant that some of us have bagged a few of these watches for a reasonable sum, well I'm more than glad for you all guys :-)!
The broader market, looking at eBay auctions and watch site sales fora, seems still very strong to me though - so much so that I've been priced out for quite some time now.
Cheers,
Fabrizio
