Maybe having a Sotheby's receipt is like a Tiffany dial

I believe Sotheby's prices include a 25% buyer's premium.

Adding to my previous post about buyer's premium: That means the winning bid would have been $22,000. Still, it will cost him (or her) $27,500 to walk out with the watch.

I'm not surprised. Daytona will ALWAYS surpassed all current models... If a Batman, Hulk , GMT, Submariner go for 20K, you can bet Daytona will be much higher and leading the pack.

The auction for all of the Daytonas was inventory from Bobs Watches, so a gray dealer selling through Sotheby's. Kind of interesting that someone would literally pay double the retail price plus tax for a pre-owned watch. I guess I like my Daytona more and more....

Wow, thanks for that extra info. This makes this even more incoherent than I thought
