Wow Hodinkee have truly lost it.
Selling this Benrus as a poor man's Orange Boy.
"Whereas, a true "Orange Boy" ref. 1163 comes to market in the $15k range, Benrus's manually-wound cousin checks in at a touch above $3k."
This is an OB, a 1163 automatic with orange accents and white subdials.
I had a real OB, they're no where near 15k actually. This one doesn't have the 15k Orange Boy colours, it's not even an automatic 😁
The Hodinkee is a poor man's Heuer's reference 73633 Autavia:
Actual value of an authentic Autavia is maybe 4k, maybe.
I will be a buyer of a Heuer 11630 at $4k in excellent condition with sharp color, please.
A Zodiac version 73463 is for sale on the bay for $4.5k.
"ZODIAC CHRONOGRAPH BY HEUER “AUTAVIA” 73463 ORANGE BOY 1970’s KILLER CONDITION"
Few of the attributes in the title apply to it, but nonetheless, it's at least interesting.
Watchpool is a different one. Worse condition and repainted hands. At 50% more…
Watchpool is overpriced for collectors imo. STO is more reasonable.
I had my trigger on the bund but other opportunities will arise.
What is STO?
Stuck The Oyster
Is that supposed to be "Shuck"?
EDIT: I've found the website, some really nice stuff. https://www.shucktheoyster.com/
