Jimster Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 He will withdraw the auction and sell them elsewhere IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke1973 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 I saw this earlier when it was first listed and thought it would hit $5 or $6 grand for sure! It's already blew by that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If authentic, & as best as I can tell from the less than helpful pics it is, the lot should easily bring $20k+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Funny how people have this stuff, not sure what it is and don't bother to find out and just throw it up on the bay. Crazy Good thing there are some genuinely nice people that help them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielv2000 Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 This is unbelievable! I wish I had such a box lying in the garage or attic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I remember last year I think, that old fellow retired military had bought his rolex at the PX. Tossed it up on the bay and it went for over 60k. He had no idea either of the value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omegaunit Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Simply amazing! It would be nice to go to a garage sale and find a box like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 If authentic, & as best as I can tell from the less than helpful pics it is, the lot should easily bring $20k+. Thanks. I was wondering what it might actually be worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 That´s incredible. Just makes you wonder how many boxer or parts are out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hmmm, in going back over this . . . it just seems a little fishy. A treasure chest of rare military dials, pictures lacking detail (deliberately?), stored in a vintage military box (nice touch?)... I dunno, the more I look at the dials, the less convinced I am.

Not necessarily. The thing is that he doesn't know the real worth of it. I'm sure he would have heartily sold it all for $500 had he received such offer in the first 2 days of the auction..

I dunno, the more I look at the dials, the less convinced I am. +1 here... fake bezels (look at the pearl hole, so big) and fake dials (look at the T which should have the vertical part thicker than the surrounding circle)... smart move from a scammer my 0,02€ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
