CAB sells gangster’s watch for €7k

The women’s Rolex placed for auction on Ebay by the Criminal Assets Bureau has been sold — for €7,000.

The Oyster Perpetual Datejust watch had been placed for sale on the site by CAB 10 days beforehand and attracted eight bids from six sources — but no late flurry.

The winning bid was lodged on Oct 9, and was matched yesterday morning, but under Ebay rules the first bid had priority.
