[ads54]

Just browsing and came across this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dreadnough...item41710d89d5

Brand new, $5000...

bit on the rich side methinks

Number 017 was shipped to California on 5 September 2003, I see this one is being sold from Heldesheim so it's not the original owner.

I also like the comment of 'absolutely complete', ohh yes, but it is missing the Rhino strap...

So, that makes it not quite complete?

[chicaneuk]

$5,000?!

I don't for one second doubt the quality of Eddie's watches, and know that these have now achieved near legendary status.. but that's insane. I thought other ones that have come up for sale in recent times were going for hundreds rather than thousands of pounds?

[seikopath]

i think asking prices for dn's peaked in the 18-23 bracket, with recent ones settling around 15

I made an offer. It was turned down. Can't think why...

5k for , just, a timefactors watch

[jrpippen]

Its a nice watch and rare but 5k! Really?

[100thmonkey]

Very flattering Im sure but a bit silly on the price

[seadog1408]

5k for , just, a timefactors watch

Nowt wrong with timefactors watches.

I have seen £1,800 paid on Ebay last year, but recently someone had a difficult time finding a trade or buyer at £1,500 on SC. And then there was one sold on Ebay at £1,254 two weeks ago (possibly the one from SC?).

$5,000? Yeah.

If it is 10 years old, would the movement not need to be serviced ?

That would be the sensible thing to do. Oils don't last forever.

I sold mine in December for $3K in the U.S. But I had some extras - A Sinn Strap and Buckle and also a spare bezel that was PVD coated.
