Neither 3003 nor 3004 has a substantial auction record at the major houses. Phillips, Sotheby's, Christie's, Antiquorum, Bonhams, and Heritage have all passed Oyster Precisions of this era through their sale rooms, but the indexed record for the specific numbers 3003 and 3004 is thin. Where listings do surface, they tend to treat the references interchangeably with the broader late-1930s Precision population. | Neither 3003 nor 3004 has a substantial auction record at the major houses.
