Its demand fullfillment anyhow.

I remmeber the price AHM paid that time was 5500 euro or close to this: do we have the exact date? Jeff i remember you hosted a pdf of the auction? At that timne a normal siffert was about 2500-2800 euro: that I remember also: asthe chronomatic was about 2 times the regular.

: I suspect that it will show up here, after some "cooling
: off" period. Analysis as follows:
: Seller probably wants the "cooling
: off" period, as what started as a simple, low-dollar
: transaction probably had some difficult moments

: First Buyer (who ended up not buying the
: watch) probably is not a "regular" here, or I suspect
: that we would have heard from him already, so he is not part of
: the equation

: Second Buyer (who has, in fact, bought the
: watch) is probably a "regular" here; I suspect that he
: will want to show us his new watch; I mean, if you had just
: bagged one of the two nicest Chronomatic Autavias of all time,
: wouldn't you want to share it with the community! And he
: probably has nothing to be ashaned of -- he simply threw a lot
: of money at the Seller, as many of us probably did.

: The Rest of Us / Bystanders / Bidders We must
: remember that the fun is in the hunt; so we missed out on this
: one, but let's start looking for the next one! We will encourage
: the new owner to step forward, so that we can all see more of
: this fantastic looking watch!!

:
: So we will wait and see.
