King Charles Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 What's the final price going to be? See HERE Interesting history and lots of bidder questions.
freddy333 Posted October 18, 2008 Report Posted October 18, 2008 Based on the fuzzy pics (themselves, usually more than sufficient cause to look upon the seller with an extremely jaundiced eye), mismatched hands (hand lume does not match dial lume), questionable story & 0 previous sales (that I could find) of high end (or any) watches, most likely a franken, at best. I would pass based on the available info, or await Dowling's conclusions. On the other hand, I would not be at all surprised to see this auction close before its posted end date.

Freddy was so right, auction ended due to an "error in the listing" I like this guys question: Hi, I am London based. I will offer
King Charles Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Posted October 19, 2008 That sale has ended but the item has been relisted HERE Can't immediately see any differences between old & new. Same tired photos and no images of the guts.

King Charles Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Posted October 19, 2008 For what it's worth, I've just noticed the difference between the 2 listings (apart from opening price). You probably got there long ago. Original listing: I have owned the watch for around five years. The previous owner stated it was found at the bottom of Portland Harbour, Dorset, (where the Royal Navy had a base until the 1990's) during a dive. Revised listing: I have owned the watch for around five years after it was handed down to me.
