oft! thats some increase on the estimate!
Can you get them to recreate the Michael Caine pose from that photo...? Otherwise what was the point in buying the watch!
From the buyer:
Yep just been to see it in person for the first time today and arrange shipping, had really good feedback from the auctioneers who said that the sale was a huge success and lots of very envious ppl in the rooms, phones and online who didn't land that one, so even though it went for so much I think that as it's such an iconic piece then it will probably hold it's value in the long term, not that I'd ever be selling it anyway, the sale was all lots sold and so much interest that it took many times longer than was expected and everyone seems to have heard about it from black cabbies to maitre de-s.
Stonehedge-
great watch but f me that's expensive. The value of a famous person's watch is an interesting one. At a point in probably our lifetime, people won't give a shit about Michael Cane. Long term, I'd be surprised if this holds its value.
Did the buyer buy it because he's a big Cane fan? Or just minted? Or both!?
