Apparently, there have been 40 bids on it, so there are a few people that think it is.....will be interesting to see what the last second snipe bids are.

The one I sold was at $1,100 with about 45 seconds to go and sold at $3,300!!

It went up $6K in the last 12 seconds, sold for over $22K...a true snipe, the winning bidder had not bid on it before

I oon't know that I would spend $3300 on a watch on ebay let alone $22,000. Would need some very special terms and conditions to authenticate.

Isn't 22000 a "not so good price"?? Just because one spitted 27000 on one like that once?
It can be enough that the winner find out that it's not worth that much on the future market and he will retract: The 27000 guy may have not done a good deal at all...
At this price, you can get exclusive movements and better cases than brass. Never heard of those before: I think that one must be American to have so wild interest in those models...
Well, I'm not in the rail-road watches...

There's only 2 ways: You been ripped of a lot of money by an unlucky auction OR this 22000buks bidder will be seriously ripped...

This particular Bunn Special is probably one of the rarest American Railroad grade watches in existence today....there are less than 10 known to exist. i read an article on it in the NAWCC magazine a while back.

These rare Railroad grade watches are highly collectible, for this watch to be bid up so high there had to be more than a couple guys interested in it.

The one I sold last year in the two-tone 173 case, had a normal 60 Hour Bunn Special Movement in it...nothing special at all....but the case was extremely rare, I probably would have gotten the money for it if I sold the case without the movement.
