Perhaps this Boxing chronograph is the ultimate example of the prospective purchaser asking "If I miss this one, when will I see another?".
I believe that we have seen two of these, in the community / on the internet. Yes, most of the ordinary Lemania 5100 models have not done well in the market, but this Boxing chronograph is truly rare (and also among the coolest styles, ever!!).
If only I had grabbed this one, 10 years ago!!

: Interesting comments Carlo, very informative as usual. I agree we
: should use OtD forum for substantive discussion; Instagram now
: has the volume for photo only posts, but for proper research and
: information, IG is useless; this forum is much better.
: I was a bit surprised on the boxing, I know it is incredibly rare
: but collectors seem to ignore the 5100s - unjustifiably in my
: opinion, they are a beautiful balance of form and function. I
: was wondering if TAG Heuer bought the boxing 5100? If I was them
: I would have bought it for the museum, it would look really good
: in a boxing themed display with a 1960's Ringmaster stopwatch,
: the 1980's 5100 and the recent Muhamed Ali boxing ringmaster
: "reimagination". Do we know if LVMH/TAG was bidding /
: won it?
