Over $61k already, and 5 days to go! That's some watch to have sitting in a drawer...

I especially enjoyed how the same bidder went from 31k to 61k.

I hope he gets it.

How can someone tell that a watch like that is authentic without examining it in person first. I can't ever imagine myself buying a +$60K watch from some random guy on ebay, without seeing it in person before hand, but that's just me.

If I ever were to scam a bunch of watch collectors on eBay, I know for sure that I would appear an old man not knowing what he is selling

Here's my "Made in Russia" black faced Helicopter watch. I put a bond nato band on it and I think it looks pretty good.

Quick q: got a baume and mercier geneve that will cost $360 to repair. Worth it? Or too subjective to opine on? Pics earlier in this thread.

An expensive watch is often expensive to repair. Just how it goes.

That seems to be roughly the start cost for a mechanical watch repair (which is usually an overhaul). This is what it will probably cost to have your watch serviced, once the warranty period ends. So, to answer your question: Yes.
