I was hugely surprised to see a pair of Speedmaster 808 end links go for £435 on ebay yesterday, this seems really high for something that could a few years ago be bought for a fraction of that price. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm//124179606816?Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network I have a couple of pairs, one pair of which I use with a 1171 bracelet, just never realised they were so expensive now, but I guess it just depends whose after them.
Does not suprise me, have a look here for some which sold quite recently for (maybe?) more: https://forums.watchuseek.com/f319/fs-omega-speedmaster-1450-bracelet-808-endlinks-5056509.html
I should have loaded up on these when I could still get them from Omega...last time I bought them they were $16 each...
The 1450/808 seems to have been selling for 1400-1600 USD for at least a few year now (check out the sales section on OF) £435 does seem quite high for just the end links though Glad to see that the listing included the terminology of "Rare"
I guess the person who bought the 1450 bracelet without the end links would be pretty desperate to buy the 808 end links
I still think of the 1450/808 as modern but those vintage 6/506's parts are always expected to be expensive
I have a 1450/808 that I took off my speedy just due to the outrageous amount that they're going for.
