dalayclass Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Just have a look it's pretty amazing, I don't think I can afford it... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=260473090540&Category=3930&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2#ht_640wt_962 BTW, I have an Angelus 240 with alarm system and without the stem, if someone is interested...
l3x Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Nice find. That's the whole package right there.
rmcsherry Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Will be watching this one with great interest
dalayclass Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Posted September 9, 2009 What is a fair price for this one do you think?
dluddy Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Will be watching this one with great interest I bet you will
mir36 Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 Will be watching this one with great interest That's the most overpriced resin-filled dial I've ever seen. At least it comes with a free movement.
Merlin Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 That's the most overpriced resin-filled dial I've ever seen. At least it comes with a free movement. yess! this dial will go up really high!!
vlaletom Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 pfffff..... this is so depresive .... 4j20h and allready 2800
fishgodeep Posted September 9, 2009 Report Posted September 9, 2009 You'd have to wait a very long time to see another Ebay item like this...bidding is hot and the snipers surely must be in position already! Cheers FGD
siesta181 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Some crazy price there. I thought we are dealing with reps.... Reps are supposed to be 50 bucks max.
dalayclass Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 If people spend that amount on a movement, don't you think it's to do a vintage franken and to sell it a very expensive price? I think many people play with the vintage frenzy, be Rolex, Panerai or I don't know what...
fishgodeep Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 Well if you had a $60K car - it would be reasonable to expect to pay
dalayclass Posted September 10, 2009 Author Report Posted September 10, 2009 So how do you explain the gap between a SF240 without stem and this one??? Moreover, when you have a gen watch, you always can find a watchmaker to repair it or to re-create some parts... I agree with your theory but it doesn't work here according to me
billy_bunter Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 So how do you explain the gap between a SF240 without stem and this one??? Moreover, when you have a gen watch, you always can find a watchmaker to repair it or to re-create some parts... I agree with your theory but it doesn't work here according to me A Key-wind Angelus is useless for a wristwatch really - and the parts are not interchangeable. Supply and demand: there aren't that many stem winds available and hence they are sought after...and thus the high price
vlaletom Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 this is not just a stem wind This is a non alarm ! Allready mounted on a dial, and all the problem that may arise in doing such a project are allready cleared. It is puiblicly exposed as a "angelus sf 240 for panerai" on the bay. So it will not atract only watch geek, that know what to look for, but olso may rich panaresti kind of guy, that are just [censored] off they couldn't buy that 203 because they were to low on the waiting list at there AD. Still crazy price, i was expecting around 3k
Watchmeister Posted September 10, 2009 Report Posted September 10, 2009 We can put it in perspective. No more than 300 or so of true non-alarm stem wound movements which were built in the mid-60's. The majority went to Panerai with a few to other "clocks". If you want to build a proper homage to a $100,000 watch you are willing to pony up $5,000 +. That is my bet. At least I hope so on behalf of the seller. It must have killed him to sell it.
dalayclass Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Posted September 13, 2009 It reached only 7 321,36$, quite a gift at that price... Is it one of us?
vlaletom Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 i was told the seller is a rg menber. Buyer dunno. quite a crazy price imho. I was ready to pay a lot, but that was over my limit. Of course somone that has the fund ready, may have an other apreciation, it is a very rare and nice movement, ready to use. If it had the correct arm, spring for the rachet, and therefor was the exact movment used on vintage or 203, i would have been ready to pay those 5k
hooky Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 So will the buyer make the MOST expensive replica ever? Then we should demand a special thread about it...
Pugwash Posted September 13, 2009 Report Posted September 13, 2009 So will the buyer make the MOST expensive replica ever? Then we should demand a special thread about it... Let's not forget, this movement was taken out of a replica already.
earlgrey-erfurt Posted September 14, 2009 Report Posted September 14, 2009 Let's not forget, this movement was taken out of a replica already. +1 use the search function cheers helmut
peepshow Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 $7K+ USD for the movement and dial?!?!?!?! My, how things have changed in the past several years...
Watchmeister Posted September 17, 2009 Report Posted September 17, 2009 Wow, congrats to the seller. I think I smell caviar at that party.
