We saw this one on ChronoTrader, a few weeks ago, listed at $7,000. The dial shows significant damage and the hands have been replaced.

Price has now been reduced to $6,000. I would say that this is getting a bit closer to reality, although there is some way to go.

: Interesting that these are "consecutive" executions of
: the Seafarer, with the Bonhams watch being the second version of
: the Reference 2443 Seafarer and the eBay watch being the first
: version of the Reference 2444 model. Both watches appear to be
: in excellent condition and entirely original, although the
: Reference 2444 watch appears to have some water damage along the
: edge of the dial.

: So which of these two would you choose for yourself?
