What did the Skipper lot 47 go for please?

The Skipper was sold for EUR 12'500.-
"Dark Lord" was sold for EUR 15'500.- (I would have expected much more on this.)

Was expecting more for the Dark Lord also but guess buyers premium and European VAT on top takes it to about €34k

Those seem like pretty reasonable prices.

😲 Did you mean €24k?

SmithSJ · Oct 31, 2020

Sorry yes. Mis-typed. So pretty low. Whilst I think a good price for the Skipper.

This was the pick of the bunch for me. Went for way more than I could ever afford though, short of a lottery win 🙁

How much. Always loved that watch and I am not a Rolex fan. Basically the ones I like are that one and a matte dial explorer 1.

Can't remember exactly and can't find it on the site now, but I think it was about EUR 18k

Seems reasonable for that watch but still too much in my mind.

I catched the prices of the Heuer watches:

#113 tops the list 👍

Thanks sir @Remo 😀

Did anyone see the final lot, the gold Daytona? €127k!

Redwes25 · Oct 31, 2020

Crazy

This Longines was sold at a surprisingly high price.
Estimation:

Sold price:

Also other Longines vintage wachtes do reach quite high prices, what I find quite astounding if you look at the moderate prices of modern Longines watches.

Thanks for that @Remo 👍
Solid bids but some steals as well. Dark Lord for that kinda money? Once in a lifetime opportunity. Orvis went low as well.
22k for that 1158 is also pretty low. 2K for a mint Cortina? I love that watch.

If my 2020 watch budget wouldn't have been used already this would have been a very good opportunity. I think I will keep on tracking these auctions. But it was a rare opportunity since most of the time there are less Heuers and even less offerings without reserve.
