....I wouldn't even have needed a 2nd mortgage to buy it! (and I was going to bid but didn't even get a look in-it was at £5800 before I blinked!!)

Oh well, maybe next time....

Have a good weekend all.

: I was staggered to see this case with bezel, insert and pushers
: (but no crown or crystal) and dial sell for £5,800 plus 20%
: commission at a local auction in the UK yesterday.

: I think I am right in saying it is a first execution transitional
: case and third dial.

: For the avoidance of doubt, there were no hands, movement,
: bracelet, box or papers.

: Would anyone be able to explain why the parts were so valuable?
