https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-speedmaster-bezel-don.24845/ And if it does sell at this price I'll quote Einstein: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former"
Are they real?! It would be a lot cheaper and profitable to create a fake DON bezel than whole watch.
I saw this and thought "this guy is ripping the piss" I could be wrong in today's climate but for a bit more can't you buy the whole watch? Don't worry about any negative comments fellas this guy doesn't seem to add any comments on the main forum he just posts dismembered speedys at horrendous prices on the sc. As a side note cars of a certain age are worth a lot more in pieces than as a whole. He may be on to something here. Igor bring me my hammer I've got a speedy to chop up!
And they're sold. Man, oh man! Time to go back the the 'bezel protection' thread and Elmer glue my oldies!
It would seem Einstein was right....... But one wonders whether it is possible to manipulate this relatively small market by posting FS items at exorbitant prices and then claiming they sold, thus creating a false perception of high prices....
Having seen prices of lessor quality eBay bezels, it surprises me not. We do try not to "price police" members sales. Remember, " do unto others as...................."
Point taken. I have no intention of policing anyone and in fact this has inspired me to list my 105.003 for sale. I still a few years left on my mortgage and I might as well clear the debt now.
I am happy for him if it sold at this price. BTW, being friendly and involved in the forum life could be a minimum i think...
I am quite happy to inform you that there's a group of people here hunting for one - and I'm one of them...
Yesterday found a complete Speedmaster 321 Ref. 145.012 for the same price of this bezel. I was lucky.
