Sherpa Graph III & IV - Two beauties sold in about 48 hours

[Joe_A]

A couple of Sherpa Graphs from Malaysia popped up on Chrono24 and were gone in two days. No point in putting these in the tip-off corner!

Each was offered at $9500 and given the short turrn-around, time, were likely snapped up quickly at the listing price and possibly by the same buyer.

I was tempted, but resisted.

Both dials and case backs were in good condition. The Mk IV was as close to NOS as we will probably ever see.

First the good to excellent Mark III:





A little bit of rust on the central hands and a bit of white paint on the tip of the lollipop seconds, but otherwise excellent.

It's a pity。。。。。。

 

[Joe_A]

That you didn't see them, lol?

. . . or that I let them slip through my fingers?

 

[SteveHarris]

That's weird. They show up as still available for me?

They show up as "reserved" on my screen. Which I think means a transaction is in progress.

Get it done。。。。。。

 

[SteveHarris]

Haha - weirdly it's showing up as reserved for me now too! The Mark IV was my old watch actually was basically NOS when I sold it. I find it hard keeping watches like that... as much as I love to look at them, I feel bad wearing them!

 

[Joe_A]

It's a beautiful watch, Steve. If I were to buy it, I would wear it.

I let Sean know that, if the deal were to fall through, given the opportunity, I'd buy it from him.

I suspect the two sales will be settled though . . . and that my wallet is safe.

If you have any more like that, please let us know!

Me too with the NOS/super-nice examples. Mind, parts are getting so hard to find, it's affecting the use of my more worn watches, too :-(
