Isnt the soldier is kinda young looking?

its pucker and was much discussed on vrf last year , or earlier in the year, was sold by bonhams this year.

really really nice history, but weighed against the slightly oddball batch that needs a bit of specilaized knowledge to understand it, the relumed hands and the bars that have been tapped out at some point

the son who owned it got a bit out of his depth selling it and was so scared of underselling it he slighty messed it up with numerous collectors and he ended up back where he started at bonhams. ( and as a result ended up with a fair bit less than he had been earlier offered - reminds me a little of poor drsdmk0 ladies dielma)

nice $100k watch.

but, no thanks. i rather buy a couple of used porsches with the money and then take the remaining $6k and drop it on a nice 5513.

just my opinion

I had to get my Mother's consent to join at 17 after graduating 6 months early... I was jumping out of planes 6 months later and looked younger than him!

993 Turbo with a few Ks left over for a Mcqueen Explorer, a Red Sub AND a vintage Daytona.

I'm missing that calculation :-) In euroland: TT 60, mcQ 10, Red 10, Dayt 20 makes 100k (euro that is). But anyway: not very nice of Mr M not to blur out the personal details of the original owner(s)....

I am with you Harry!

Those hands look awful!! Pet peeve. I'd rather go for one available from trusted sellers on here.
