Dizzy Posted October 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I wish someone repped this clasp. It looks sooooo good!! i'd never even seen a "big logo" before a few months ago. It looks much better than the regular logo IMHO. The 19mm versions are still down around $900 but there is a big step up in price for the 20mm model... wow. Some guy on VRF posted a 1803 day-date for $6000 from the late 50's that had a beautiful rivited bracelet and "big logo" clasp. I bet that bracelet alone is worth $6k on that one. I wish I was rich and could afford stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 Clearly, we are back to the pre-summer 2007 days of unrestrained vintage Rolex pricing. Keep in mind that with so many previously third-world countries minting new millionaires almost as fast as the US now mints dollar bills & with Rolex being 1 of the most universally accepted aspirational purchases, with demand for vintage outstripping the limited supplies, prices can only continue ever-skyward. If the recession was not able to stymie this trend, then it is likely to continue for as long as mechanical watches are popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Im trying to buy some vintage gen bracelets for my frankens but its not that easy anymore.. I got a couple 9315's and a nice 19mm rivet for my 6265 but now prices are skyrocketing in the last 3 or 4 weeks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 I just saw one with the same numbers but a regular size at JJ-market in BKK for around $750 (it's looks original and/but feels very flimsy).... I politely declined (maybe I shouldn't have...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Im trying to buy some vintage gen bracelets for my frankens but its not that easy anymore.. History just keeps repeating itself. Buy today, no matter the cost, because it will be twice as high tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJack Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 $9100 with an hour to go. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praetor Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Let me get this straight, so the only thing that makes that bracelet valuable is a clasp like this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/50s-Rare-ROLEX-CLASP-PART-BIG-LOGO-6263-6265-6241-6239-/220683794596?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3361c778a4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
