It was already on my watch list. A nice one.

 

This is $400 now folks!

 

That’s how I got my Original Komfit- it was on a nasty looking boring Bulova with a BIN of $60 or make offer- I just hit BIN.

 

How much is a bracelet like this worth? I like the Mido but likely wouldn’t wear the bracelet. Too bad this is an auction

 

These seem to go for more these days. One crown is a generic replacement. $350 or offer.

It’s too expensive. The watch is worth about $150 and the bracelets range from $250-400 depending whatever drives people crazy on eBay. The Forster reissue has nibbled into the market for these as the reissue is actually a better fit to the Speedy, for which the NASA nuts buy them. The original was 16mm band 16-19mm sprung endlinks, and the reissue is 18mm band and 18-20mm endlinks.
I have mine on a Wyler with 17.5mm endlinks and it looks killer but I wouldn’t pay real money for one personally.

 

Appreciate and respect your opinion as always Bill. I think the combo at current asking could be seen as “fair market”- but a little steep for me- maybe I’m biased as I’m full up on watches like this so it would need to be a screaming deal for me to bite.

Yes, larger Mido’s are worth a premium- and this looks like a nice one. An original Komfit is also worth a premium- I guess the sum of the parts can justify it.

Lovely ladies Omega cocktail watch. I got one like this for my lady years ago on the integrated bracelet- she loves it.
19mm with faceted crystal- these are little gems and sparkle like it on the wrist. If you are not a lady, then this would make a great New Years gift for any lady in your life.

Love the hat, and in case you are curious:

Feeling lucky?

 

Don't feel like blowing a load of my money to give a shot at repairing this and failing... It would be a scandal...
