: WOW . . . $2,738 for a Seafarer, with seven bidders in the final
: 17 seconds of the auction. This one features either a rare /
: unique prototype dial, or perhaps a refinished dial,

: Difficult to make the "rare vs. refinished" call from the
: eBay photos, so we will hope that the winner is a member of our
: community who will come forward.
: What do you see . . . rare or refinished?
