Yowsers. Not worth this (although it clearly is to someone!). Maybe I should have bought the Siffert Autavia after all 😀

That big block is a pretty sweet alternative though...

Oh man just wait until the new owner actually winds and wears this one.... paid almost $14k for a $2k watch

A quick Google tells me these were $5900 new?

Yeah something around there, plus $99 for the Hodinkee strap (which was 100% worth it)

$6000 for a $2k watch was hard enough to stomach, but it did have a truly lovely dial and I can't help but love asymmetric chronographs. Still, the rest of the watch was tangibly cheap and I ended up selling it after a few months, after I had acquired an 1153 (which it must be said is very much not tangibly cheap 😁)

You can get a LOT of watch for 14k that's for sure!

It sold at a pretty high price. I'll just leave this screen shot here for posterity.
