Awesome watch if you have the dial. Well worth to buy if you have a soft case and no red triangle insert.

Before it was pulled, It was at 16,700.00 in just a matter of minutes of being listed. Craziness. It was pulled within minutes. I bet with the extreme amount the seller was shocked as it climbed so high. Maybe he put the brakes on to investigate. I bet he will receive a pretty penny. That thing would look badass if it could be made whole again with just a service to the movement. Get that baby running strong. I like it even though as SCORPION would say it is “Toasty”.

More toasted than mine. I'm sure we will see it for sale soon cleaned up and asking $55k.

Should have let the auction run ... it had that eBay "barn find" momentum. Now people are going to ask a ton of questions and pick it apart.

The insert alone is more than 16700. Case is great as well. I’m sure it will resurface one day with another dial.

A bit of polywatch and a movement service and you’re good to go!
