Frankly that price is ludicrous and highly speculative. I bought mine on Sales Corner last year and I paid an awful lot less than that!

PRS-2 Dreadnought for sale on the bay. Good if you've been looking for years but at a v. elevated price.

Is it the wrecked polished one again?
Presumably the seller is trustworthy (seems to have good feedback anyway). But I'd be a bit nervy buying something like that from the US via eBay. If there was any problem with the watch, I imagine it'd all be more awkward. Not to mention the likely import taxes.
Having said that, it is very nice!
The description states: 'nice original pre-owned never polished condition, working well'
It certainly looks as though somebody has had a go at polishing it.
That’s been polished for sure, and why on earth would you do that to a bead blasted case . It’s been ruined.

Seller is good at maths.
CONDITION: 85% (8.5 of 10)
I think there might be a third, actually.
This one is #21, but #143 is (or was) owned by the self-styled 'Flying Doctor', Dr. Peter McClean Millar, who wrote the Doxa Book. His review of the watch after he bought it identifies that #143 had been fully polished by the previous owner. He seemed to like it...
I can say without fear of contradiction (as it's mine!) that #118 is entirely as Eddie intended!

Ditto for me #131 - Mart Broad's old watch...
Mine was originally owned from new by Ming Thein, but purchased from GraniteQuarry, both of this forum.
