And if that were a rare 14k rose gold bracelet then it's worth closer to $3k alone IMO. Hard to tell from the hue of the photos if it is rose or yellow gold.
31 Watchers on it, I reckon there's going to be a pile of offers in the 5000-6000 range already, someone's going to grab it
Only reason I know about these things is I've been desperate to buy a 14K or 18K bracelet for AGES for my SMPPs, Constellation or Cal 320 being a bracelet guy and not owning a single gold bracelet. Literally I've had about 10 BoR, mesh and 7 row BoR bracelets fall through on me in the past year. They all fall into either the category of overpolished, stretched, damaged or overpriced
Makes me seriously think about listing the brick bracelet from the 168.009 if they bring that much of a premium, although that's a 19 mm lug end width which isn't as popular or interchangeable as 18 mm.
I contacted Raymond Lee Jewelers in FL and they have a laser weld machine that does gold repair. They said it isn't cheap but they can possibly fix that ding. Just an option.
i don't know how cleanly it can be done but I have good gold smiths back at my home country who can fix these things by hand so it can be fixed for free of cost for me buy not sure how clean it will be as they don't have sophisticated laser equipment
Yea but my Cal 320 was sold as yellow gold too and turned out to be rose gold, it can go one way or the other easily depending on lighting and other factors.
Ash, the buyer is willing to negotiate what do you think is the best price taking everything in to account. i mean safe price?
Hard to say, there are 11 offers on it already, probably some around the $6k mark. There will be a fair bit of interest on it so its up to you
one last question will there be any issues with US customs? Never did such a high price out of country purchase. any experiences?
Just went through some internet pages looks like it will be problem to import a watch with value around 5k. how do you guys do it? do you end up paying fees etc:-?
With FedEx, fee is about 5% of declared value. With USPS lots of times it gets through without any duty assessed on it no matter what the value.
35 watchers now, guessing he's not accepting any of the offers, probably waiting for someone to buy it out
I got too greedy and i lost it.... worried about customs and had second thoughts as it is not a scalloped version... Didnt take his 4250 euros offer... now he ended it ... i am a A**. Dont think we will see another one at that price range... Craps are getting sold at 3000$ Why why why! i missed it.
Well they charge you final bidding price valuation fees if you end early but if you have a store that's only 100 bucks. the only way they can do.
I think ebay + paypal together is 13% or so.. It got lot of attention in last couple of days. if somebody offered 4500 eros offline it is a win win for both.
