Thanks for posting.Genuinely shocked that lot 167 only made what it did.It all depends what a couple of people are prepared to pay on the day.The hammer price on the gold Daytona reflects just how rare and how few a number of these were sold in the day.Daytonas were half the price of a Sub back then!

Thanks for the pics. The Red Sub I had my eye on went for over double the high estimate as I would have guessed, oh well.

This is truly insane:

$122K for a 1675 with mismatched hands, wrong bezel insert, a jacked date wheel, probably a doctored dial, and no box or papers?

That is LUNACY. There must be an asteroid headed to earth to end all life, and people have lost their frigging minds.

But is true, interest was very high

Boy, the estimates look really low. I'm going to be curious on the hammer prices.

I don't doubt its veracity, I doubt its basis in rational thought.
