Military SM300 at Bonhams Lot 206

[MICHAELHS]

Dont know if people have seen this, but a few listings wanting to buy, i have not seen the watch, or any link with the seller.
Seem ok has anyone viewed, or know more details on the lot, guide price seems a bit off the mark.

The guide does seem very low

Hard to say without pics of the back and an extract of records

I've noticed they seem to do that a lot, I would guess to make people think they might get a bargain...

What a lovely watch. I must start trawling the auction sites.

Mike, I'm afraid my bank manager refused my accesss to the auction ... a good job too, as there were a couple of the "big boys" on the job, who are responsible for these crazy prices, bidding as though they had to get rid of some balast!

Went to look at it before the auction- was a great piece- but really in beaten up shape, crown did not screw down, cracks in the crystal etc...

I still had a bid though :)
