In response to a question about the IDF markings, here's what the markings look like on this model -- the Reference 113.603 Autavia.

Mine is on top [M-1993]; the Christie's sample is below [M-2008] . . . so they are 15 numbers apart.

The "M" is thought to be a representation of the Hebrew letter "Tzadi" . . . the first letter of "Tsva ha-Hagana le-Yisra'el" [which means, "the army of the defense for Israel"].

: In May 2016, we saw Phillips sell one of these IDF Autavias for
: $89,703 (final price) [top photo]. This morning, we saw
: Christie's sell one for $63,614 (final price) [bottom photo].

: What would you suggest as the "fair market value" right
: now? A few years ago, I found one of these for a friend; he may
: be interested in selling; he would likely sell privately (not
: through an auction house and not by eBay) . . . what price do
: you believe he can achieve, say through either word of mouth or
: ChronoTrader?
