Well that's my pension fund sorted then!
Just seen an IWC Mk XI listed by a well known London dealer for £4595. I recall approx 6 years ago another well known dealer listed them for £2300 and they have since been rising in price steadily. I wish I still had mine - it was 'bought in' for £500 after failing to reach reserve at Sotheby's in 2001.

XII non runner was sold for almost 2k GBP from a guy I know. Crazy really.
The Mk XII with the automatic JLC movement was listed new in the mid 90s for £999 - when the adverts were squeezed into The Times newspaper's share listings - sometimes there were several of the small (approx 4cm x 4cm) adverts appearing on one day amongst all the share prices.

Saw 2 mark XI at the watch fair in Birmingham on Sunday one issued one not priced at £4000 for the issued £3400 standard issue. Both where in good condition tbh I thought the standard had a very bright dial and looked like it could of had a relume.
I paid £1350 at auction for a good example in 2000.

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Must dig mine out;
One sold this morning at Tennants Auctioneers for £1900 + Comm, dated 51 but with a T dial and Down turned end to the 7.
