Would you be interested in this at the right price?

Hi guys i was with a friend of mine today, he is a craftsman in makeing jewellery, he knows i am a rolex nut so as a suprise he has made me this one off keyring in sterling silver, i must admit its superb and feels like quallity, as i have done him quite a few favours he would not take any money off me. How many of you guys would like to own one of these in solid silver and what would you be willing to pay? He could make it in gold but it would be very expensive. All i was thinking was if there was enough intrest he could make a limited number and i could let you have them through the forum. Postage and insurance world wide from the UK would be about £10. Let me have your feelings, he may be able to make silver cuff links as well, Mmmnn i might just hint that to him when i see him next. Comments and what you think its worth apreciated..... thanks.

Personally i love it and it looks so cool on my car keys, its just a bit of class........

Hi guys it looks like there may be an interest, i will have a word with him to see what the price would be roughly and if it would be cheaper for us to buy them if he makes a few. HEY ive just thought if he makes a few then mine wont be unique, ney mind, the chances of me bumping in to a limited few of you guys world wide with clone keyrings would be very slim. ha ha .

Very nice, but I would be afraid of breaking it, I'm not gentle with keys.

Nice, but it would last 2 seconds in my pocket, that corona would snap off in a heartbeat.

+1

Maybe it would be better as a set of oversized cufflinks, a little smaller, though. THAT would make a fashion statement!

Oh, and that's a beautiful rose gold DD! Which dial does it have?

I think it's fantastic.....!!

BUT.....!!

If I was buying one I'd rather the actual 'key-holder-ring' part was attached to the BASE of the coronet....
(or to be honest I might actually thread a 'key-holder-ring' through the oval hole IN the actual coronet)....
I think it would be too fragile for daily use (by me at least) in it's current form.

No group purchases, thanks.

You can communicate via PM but not on open forums.
