Now that it's ended on eBay at ~$4400 - strong money for an automatic Carrera, especially since it'll need a new crystal at the very least - can we discuss this one?

I think it's beautiful, but I'm curious - all of the Paintless Wonders we've seen so far (Monacos and Silverstones usually) are uneven, and still have some paint remaining - this one is completely down to the brass. Yet it still retains the logo and all of its markers, just like the others. Who's got thoughts?
