Assume you have a deal for half the asking...
And half the asking is still extortionate

Don’t think so. Retail was EUR 300 but now NLA I think

This snoopy franken already has bids worth more than it should be, I really wonder if the bidders are even reading the ad correctly, Watchco were dumping these dials for like $250-400 at one point and had a lot of them…

https://www.ebay.com/itm/144327354358?hash=item219a94a7f6:g:9-cAAOSweSlhs47r&LH_Auction=1

Indeed - someone way over-paid. Bidding ended above $8K USD. Aside from being franken it didn't even function properly...

"...it requires a service as it has been serviced 7 years ago when the Dial was exchanged with a Snoopy Dial and the chronograph doesn't function as it should. "

And what about the 10+ FP Journe Chrono Bleus listed around 100k$ and which sit for weeks?!
Are these really going for these insane amounts? 😕

Does this one qualify!? 😗

I understand it is limited to 69 pieces, the box is signed, supposedly, by Buzz Aldrin, and has been “well loved”… but North of $111,000!?!? 😵‍💫😲

Apparently Buzz Aldrin will sign anything for $500.

Starting price of 250EUR on this "Rare" gold plated 18k Seamaster if i can read the sharpie handwriting well, can't figure out the bracelet, it is not signed 18k stamped and looks like integrated but how come? 😕

“Autobahn Gold”.
Fake as a three-dollar-bill. Very common crap from the 60s and 70s.
:whipped:

The prices on everything have gone nuts. None of us are any richer because our watches are worth more. Because it also costs more to buy the ones we want. If prices for all watches went back to 1999-2003, we'd all be happier and everyone who loves watches would be having just as much fun.

Yes….but I would rather not go back to my salary in 1999…. I was eating a lot of Ramen,

No one is any richer because their watches are worth more because y'all aren't selling them.
