I'm looking at this bracelet. Is it a 1035? Maybe I can use it for my 165024... Only pictures I have...

 

From Japan?
Yep.

 

Yep. Sadly the geneve attached is a bit expensive...

 

I can sell the geneve and keep the bracelet... It's $ 980 ex 21% duties... hmmm.

 

Unless you already have the correct endlinks I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

 

IIRC correctly a 1035 without ends just sold for about €600 on EBay....not that that helps you much now, but I think the market is down from its heady hights on these.

 

Yes. Agree. Just looked at sold items. Thnx!

 

Really? That seems quite cheap.

I think the market has matured so bracelets with endlinks, whether it's a 7912, 1035, 1039 or 1175, sell for much more than those without endlinks (or with endlinks not suitable for Speedmasters.

 

I found it at the very low end of the scale too.

If I buy the geneve it's in total eur 1100. I sell the geneve for EUR 400/500 on chrono24 (that's possible) and I keep the bracelet for app EUR 600. But those endlinks are for a 18mm so not suitable for a 165024....

 

Anyway, to much hassle. Somehow I rather buy a watch for that money. If it were a real steal it would be different... thnx guys. As always, I appriciate it.

 

A couple of real steals from days gone by ( 2014) ...both MP...both 7077's...both less than €250 each including the watch heads. It used to be quite easy to pick up cheap flat-links, too many people fishing in the same pond now.





The Seamaster was a write off with a water damaged movement, I eventually used the case though as that was great. The Connie needed a service and some TLC, lonng gone now but I still have both bracelets.

 

I can put my money also in this 168010. Almost same price and dial seems to be original. Correct hidden crown right? Some lume loss and corrossion on seconds hand. But for the rest it seems quite reasonable. I can reunite it with my other 168010

 

I almost went for that one two nights ago....but managed to restrain myself as this one had just arrived a day earlier

 

Haha. Yes. Very nice. Beautiful lugs. Those black dials stay very special.

 

Fuck it. I just bought that black Meister...

 

It's a disease, isn't it?

 

A nice gilt dial on that one

 

Haha. I cant help it!

 

Well. That's rather fast...
