Re: #1 Serial number Charity Auction
That would be my understanding scooter... maybe Mr Kirk is just putting some feelers out there, testing the waters ?? Me, last of the later bidders perhaps on a couple of these .

Re: #1 Serial number Charity Auction
Thanks for that Alastair.
I didn't think that I had missed the obvious.
I might join you with some late bids if I fancy it.
Obviously they would be at or in excess of the set reserves.

Re: #1 Serial number Charity Auction
Thanks scooter
was going to ask myself why on earth anyone would bid below the reserve. Thought it was just me being thick (as per usual)

It looks like the serious players are turning out.
Chameleon has just hit the reserve price of £650 for the C70 GP GB.

Re: #1 Serial number Charity Auction
as I understand it - correct, though only CWL can confirm that...
but the nature of the reserve should mean that any lower bids don't count - i.e. selling is only live once the reserve is met...
the C70 is now there - others aren't...
but the secret of getting high bids in an auction is seeding bids lower to show activity (show the item is desired), getting lots of people involved / etc. - therefore the early bids can play a role in increasing activity and therefore increasing the final price...
which is of benefit to the charity

Re: #1 Serial number Charity Auction
I suspect the charity and CWL would like the auction run fairly and legally, which I'm not entirely sure tactics to increase activity and drive higher prices are.

Re: #1 Serial number Charity Auction
I received the email about this today, and it says "The ten #1 Serial Number watches include C3 Malvern Automatic, C7 Rapide Racing Green and the C8 Pilot Blackhawk."
Is there a C3 automatic, I thought it was a quartz chrono ?

@ blowfish
It's a printing error.
There's a C5 Malvern Aviator Mark I which is an automatic along with a quartz C3 Chrono.
