Re: very reasonable...

Considering a similar bezel alone is listed for $5k...this is a very good price.

: I was staggered to see this case with bezel, insert and pushers
: (but no crown or crystal) and dial sell for £5,800 plus 20%
: commission at a local auction in the UK yesterday.

: I think I am right in saying it is a first execution transitional
: case and third dial.

: For the avoidance of doubt, there were no hands, movement,
: bracelet, box or papers.

: Would anyone be able to explain why the parts were so valuable?
