First they discuss the "Paul Newman" Daytonas . . . and then this old Skipper.

"Lot 160 shocked and amazed staff and auction attendees alike. Valued at a mere £400-600, this Skipper watch, Reference 7753, from Heuer was not in the best condition. Despite, or perhaps because of, its discoloured dial, this watch was the subject of a bidding war online, in the room and over several phone lines. The Skipper ultimately sold for £19,000."
