looks correct, but pricing is probably the most lunatic ever, optimistic would fail to describe it,
even TheSage would blush.

bridge engraving is a bit different from what I would expect, but we seem to
get a different bridge marking (or non-marking) on every Datora we see ....

I've also never seen one before, so I am surprised at the comment from WatchFred.

can you explain what is surprising ?

I say it does look correct (and I have seen others) ?
Are you referring to my comments about pricing ?

Thank you, that's great, please show me where you've seen others, for I would absolutely buy one. I thought the price was ok for such a rarity.

this getting slightly strange.
the market, in this case: ebay
the merchandise: see above

merchandise is offered in the market, customers who think the price is reasonable,
or "ok", as you state, will buy at the BIN !

I am referring to past sales, of course, not current listings, to evaluate market valuations,
asking prices and selling prices are often quite far apart.

this watch viewtopic.php?f=11&t=37774&hilit=datora sold for a fraction of the asking price of the one you inquired about.

Doesn't buy it now at EUR 49000 convert to $62494.00 That seems super high for a watch that could be questionable.I agree with you Fred the price is lunatic.

this turns out to be one of the more counterproductive threads we had in the vintage forum ....
