Recently some delusional sellers have been asking prices out of their minds ridiculous prices for some watches including this one:

One can dream I guess Craig:), the refinished dial makes it valueless as a collectible to me and the price a joke.

Agreed. Been watching TT's this past year and seen a variety of quite a few thousand $$ in the asking prices! Not so surprisingly the higher $$ ones don't sell.

Wow, you could get a JLC Duometre Spherotourbillon, a Zenith Tourbillon, a Breguet Classique Reveil du Tsar and still have change left over for a Sub and GMT ... And a BMW.

Yes you're right sharkman, or you could get one of the 500 Rolex 6062, which are on the market, but you could never get a second Breitling Datora 86-28 in 18 Kt Gold in NOS, not even for 1 million Dollars

:uplaugh:
it might be the only NOS 86-28, granted - but it will not sell for more than 1-1.5% of the listed price (shill bids don't count)
keep dreaming, Michael/Herbert/Sage.
can not find the ROFL smily.

aside from the price

NOS means 'New Old Stock' , New , untouched , put away and forgotten about and that watch is definitely not 'New'

-: it has several watchmakers service marks inside
-: Movement screws show marks so the movement was taken apart a few times (at least once)
-: marks on the rotor that happen when removing the rotor
-: marks on the gold casing / caseback that were mostly removed by polishing


nothing NOS about this watch

absolutely correct, Renè. I was being in my kindest mood today, also with my "valuation" of $4k to$6k - even this is far more than the watch will realistically sell for - but we will see sales, only for the watch to reappear w/ an unrealistic sales price again and again. delusional.

Really can't resist it can he.

Oh well, another username banned and another bunch of IP addresses burned so that he can't use them anymore under the next username he registers with.

I thought so! I'm listing my unopened 1950 box of Crackerjacks for $1 mil, because, well, you will never find another one will you. :)
