Even for people that are wealthy enough to be *serious* Panerai collectors, $2K for a used strap has to be tough to swallow, doesn't it? :shock:

 

[Hyster]

One of us should buy it and put it on a rep :lol:

Silly money for a strap, but maybe thats just ignorance on my part.

I don't even like the way that strap looks but the buckle is nice. Not 2g nice but nice

I shall say it again, "It's not the fool that asks, but the fool that gives."

But, then again the asking price is crazy, considering it's already been damaged by the extra holes. If the seller is trying to "cash in" on the rarity and originality of this strap, why the hell would he add the extra holes?!?!? :roll:

He is trying to cash in on the rarity of the buckle. That buckle is a rare buckle, but not as rare as one would think. I have seen like 7 of them for sale this year already, and all under $1000. Average price of about $650. I highly doubt he will get the $2000 that he wants for it. The strap is just connected to the buckle. And he did ruin it by the extra holes.

Thanks for the clarification...

The same could be said for paying $25K+ for a 201/A. If you've spent HUGE $$$ on an A/Pre-A neo-vintage PAM, what's $650+ for a period correct buckle?

Having said that, I have to admit I've been tempted to pull the trigger on a ~$9K PAM009 and ask for forgiveness from the wife, my 401K advisor, God himself, etc. afterwards. :wink:

Well it seems the strap sold. It seems it's true "there is a sucker born every minute"

Ohh errr missus ! That strap looked liked the POS I threw out on my 177 when I first got it ! As for the buckle...do me a favour! I saw one for sale for £300 so it ain't that rare, and I thought the used watch sales bloke was taking the pee ! :lol:

Mother Of All Straps SOLD for $2k! There must be something to it, it sure sold quick.

 

[pineypl]

It's all mine and going on my DSN 111h as soon as it arrives.





































NOT!




Man that is some loopy crazy whacky stuff!

 

[tutima]

I always believe everything has a price as long as someone is willing to pay for it....

How they arrived at that value is beyond me... :?

 

[paipanic]

aa

Ridicurous.

 

[horologie_unitas]

oh well, for some people $ 2000 are as much as 2 cents.

they buy whatever they want....money is never an issue.

 

[bTrizzy]

Not only was it sold, it was sold in 2 and a half hours. :?
