I’d pay not having to wear that ugly piece of bling.

They are using stock photos, nobody will buy but maybe they will click on their page and go through their regular inventory.

Lots of games going on these days, just try messaging a seller on C24 that seems like a decent deal.... many times they tell you it just sold, but can locate another...

It’s a 116508 -015 Meteorite dial which retails at $42K. Why someone would want to pay 8 times is just beyond me!

Even the full 18K Daytona’s are for $52-55K. Which means the remaining $180K is for the meriorite dial!

If this ask actually gets recognized and someone pays it, we are in the midst of a massive bubble. Totally artificial.

Meh... thats nothing.

Tesla stock was $50 four years ago and it trades close to $1,000 now.
So $25K worth of Tesla purchased four years ago would be half a million dollars now.

But that’s a cash generating business and this is heritage / jewellery.

We only have ourselves to blame for this fiasco. If people weren't stupid enough to pay these types of prices, folks wouldn't be selling them. Simple as that. Someone, somewhere is paying ridiculous prices for a Rolex. Thus, keeping the cycle going skyward. Personally, I detest the third party dealers; opportunists and con artists (some).

A fairly well known UK grey today posted a yellow gold meteorite dial on oysterflex today for sale. £160k gone within a matter of hours if not less

It's happening all around us. Just look at all the relatively mundane "classic" cars that brought huge prices at the latest Barrett Jackson event.

I don't really see an end. The fact is there are many out there with more money than they have any use for. If you are 60 years old and sitting on 75 million dollars you aren't Jeff Bezos, but why not buy a classic Porsche and a few watches? And whether it takes $1 million or $2 million to take the car you want home is really of little consequence.

Lots of money chasing not a lot of watches, cars and real estate. I can't play in that game any more than I could play in the NBA.

Exactly. You wouldn't reach that level of success or come anywhere close to it by engaging in this type of impulsive behavior because if you do that with a purchase such as this, you are most likely acting impulsively elsewhere, as well.

There are people out there who make 300k in a day. This is like buying bag of chestnuts on 5th ave. for them.

What do you say about those who spend a million on a wedding, bar mitvah/bat mitzvah, sweet sixteen?
Not everybody makes your choices. Jack Whitaker won like 300 million on powerball and he was ALREADY a millionaire and blew most of it on dope, hookers, family gifts, etc.

He spent 300 million on alcohol, drugs and hookers… The rest he just wasted on non-essentials.
