Saw this in an auction results page, not the most outrageous sale.

Sorry unable to get link to function easily.

 

Crazy prices! And once the fabulous bling lord hits the market, the original dark lord will reach new levels of hype, right

 

Bling Lord.... can we think of a better name?? Liberace Lord? Rose Lord?

 

Ah, the famous 'Tiffany' from the Paul Newman phone sham...

 

Aurel: Who will give me 1 million

Tiffany: 10 Million!!!

 

Well I usually call it the gaylord but figured that might be offensive so I didn't want to put it in the forum in case someone actually liked this new bling Monaco

 

I think I called it the Dark Clown somewhere early on.

 

Bit harsh

 

Think of Phillips more like an art auction house than a market-setting dealer. Any actual sale of a 74033N would likely be less than half this

 

bit

 

You won’t once you see it in person

 

Are you in love Adam?

 

As I've stated elsewhere, I suspect this will be a nice looking watch in its own right; likely better looking than some of the draft images that may have been floated around. However, since I do not believe it will be a proper Dark Lord re-edition, there are other watches I'd prefer for less money.

 

No, it’s not a must-have for me. But it is surprisingly nice.

 

It is not an official Dark Lord reedition, so don’t worry about that @Mspeedster

 

And after all there's only 50 so what are the chances?

 

Sure seems sensible to make 10x as many purple ones as dark lordish ones.

 

Agreed.

 

I mentioned this listing on the "auction discussion- vintage Heuer" thread earlier.

Shortly after this sale another 74033 N sold on a dealer's site I'd been watching. In a much more beautiful condition too. Was originally listed for ¢79k+ and then gone for ¢69k+, if my memory serves me right. Stunning prices either way
