John Lennnon’s 2499

Seeing images of 2499 as a child influenced me into wanting a PCC as a grail. |

Let’s hope such a sentimental item is reunited with its rightful owner, whilst there’s still time.

It's always Phillips that "uncovers" some gem huh? Even "special" Omega Speedy with "provenance"... I am sorry but until the actual watch is pictured for public to see, it is really hard to take Phillips seriously nowadays..

Agreed. However, it is tough for the collector who bought it at auction if he loses. I assume he can sue the person who auctioned the watch. I am not sure if the auction house has any liability. They may disclaim such things in advance.

What's more strange to me is that NOBODY asked this simple question at that time when it was up on the auction? |

Very sloppy chain of events but very glad it has been found

John Reardon and Eric Wind have both suggested recently they are aware of where this watch is, or words to that effect. If it comes up for auction what do we think it will sell for? I guess $10-15M.
