Looks worn out and in need of some RSC care. Right now, it has not much value.

It appears that most of the value has been worn out of it.

I think it is so fundamentally worn, that Rolex would insist that it be replaced if it was sent on a watch for repair to them.
Accordingly, I do not put any value i.e. I wouldn't pay anything at all for this bracelet. One would not risk a $7,000 watch on a bracelet that may be liable to failure at anytime and in the condition so presented. P.S. as this is really a buy-sell topic, I am moving it into the WatchOut!!! section to put it in it's proper category.

only a person in dire need would or should even think of looking at this watch band, needs to be melted down for gold content imho. My thoughts on a price would be 100.00 - 150.00 for gold content, anything more and you would be taking the buyer for a ride, again just my opinion.

Thanks guys. I was getting so many offers and interest emails in it that I thought I had some secret "gem" in my hands. I'll just let it go for the most someone wants to pay for it and call it a day.
Thanks everyone. PS. And yes, I wouldn't trust it on a watch at all!! |
