A bit hopeful on this 1675 B&P?

[Old Expat Beast]

I thought this price was for the watch at first, but it's only for the box and papers. A bit hopeful, you think?

Wow talk about a "bubble", $10,000 for box and papers?, hopeful is an understatement.

[Rickster]

That's a joke

[tumbling_dice12]

And they don't even include free shipping - $40 on top of the $10k!

[JustinK]

Hopeful= Crazy

[cajuntiger]

LOL...well if you were lucky enough to have that matching serial number on your 1675 maybe but not really.

[Wesley Crusher]

At first, I thought this was a pretty good deal.... then I realized that the watch isn't included.

[Old Expat Beast]

If an average-condition 1675 were included, the set might be worth what? 10k tops?

[crowncollection]

What a dreamer

[morafa4]

What a relief that "the original owner carefully removed the watch from the box"...

[LunetteVerde]

What a bull even I have the watch with matching serial. I buy myself a matte gmt b&p with that moolahs

No watch dude , he mentioned it's only the accessories

" the original owner carefully removed the watch from the box" Now I understand why it is priced accordingly. The watch was carefully removed from the box! LOL I do not know how fees are imposed for the sellers on Ebay, but I can tell you the seller just lost whatever fee he paid for this item for sale.

He's talking about the question someone asked the seller on eBay.

...and yet it's OK to expect $1,000 for a beaten up old insert or $500 for a used plastic crystal, or $1,500 for a rattly old bracelet. $200 for a tiny plastic pearl dot? It's just conditioning and expectations. To the guy with that watch it may well be 'worth it'. I agree 10K for a cardboard box is nuts (and very greedy), but then the whole arena is whak. A million bucks for a steel Daytona? It's all relative, man.

Agreed mon ami and all depends on market value of the watch? B&P premium for gmt matte is 10-30% premium generally but what so if it's an unpolished Mk2 matte head alone ard 10k? Would you pay anther 10k to militarised it ?

Maybe I am still drunk over Foie Gras & Gallet (not to mention jetlag) - this type of sale is bonkers to most of the intermediate & season collectors.

Common, its bonkers to ANY collector, $10,000 for a box (albeit carefully preserved....)...glad he kept the little plastic bag and the beige wrapping inside the Rolex box and outside cardboard box!! maybe that makes it special

I saw this listing show up as well... And then I just sighed and went on to the next listing.

[strafer_kid]

Amazing that the owner went such trouble to preserve the outer packaging etc all those years back! Quite a set!

Right, and he eventually lost these or sold the watch without...

[GeoGio Greece]

If the watch was included, then he could ask a bonus price that some collector would pay. But such a price for a box ? How did he ever though of that ?

[frequentflyer]

Wow is it April 1st already?!!!!

[morafa4]

It sold.

Not 10k. But. It sold.

I imagine a Patrick Bateman type figure putting this on his white-lit dinner table, and carefully opening up his newly received FedEx package with white archival fabric gloves on...

Cue 'Hip to be Square'.

[MitchSteel]

Surprisingly, there are a lot of people,with a lot more money than brains

[jban5]

$3750.00


Who'd a?

[Dr DRW]

Crazy!
