redwatch Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I always love the "I inherited from uncle" stories. It sure looks legit, but when sellers say that, I just have to think...hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainJack Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Was I seeing it wrong or does this thing have a stretched band??? I'm looking at the first link next to the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I can't stop thinking of the possibility that it's to good to be true. Scary if you didn't see the watch in real life ( and then i'm still not able to determine if it's real ) Any suggestions on the hight of the winning bid ??

FxrAndy Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 it looks real to me but if i was bidding on this an internal flight i view it in person would be a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpe Diem Cats If you were serious about wanting/buying this watch, surely you would spend the $500 max to fly to see it before hand (assuming you're in the US)? That's not much compared to the sale price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yep, probably a stretch rivet bracelet which has seen better days. Don't know if they can be repaired or you just pony up for a better condition vintage bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Gotta love this answer.... Photos will be posted shortly Jeweler verified watch is original shape but rough condition numerous scratches and band needs service. Then tried to buy the watch. If it's gen I suppose any jeweler would put in an offer. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yep, probably a stretch rivet bracelet which has seen better days. Don't know if they can be repaired or you just pony up for a better condition vintage bracelet. It's possible to take most of that stretch out with new center links. But the tiny bars that connect both side links also wear out. The 9315 on my SD was like that, in some places you could see the connector bars were almost worn through. So I bought a near-new 9315 on the 'Bay and put the original aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapman57 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Its all rather cheap and tacky compared to this 6204 - please note the original retail price tag that is included on this one? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270674351911&ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 There is a pretty clear pattern there - if it is a Rolex, a sport model in very good condition & vintage, it will sell for alot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Just imagine how many of these are tucked away in sock drawers or basement boxes and forgotten about. People having no idea they have $60,000 sitting in a junk box rotting away in the basement or storage shed. It will be interesting how this one plays out.

Nanuq Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'm looking pretty hard at the dial thinking the hour indices are overly white when they should be more ivory colored. And the red text... I hope it's authentic but those are SO rare... what are the chances? There's a red text Snowflake for sale here right now. I could have that exact dial recreated by Kirk Rich for $300. A flight for inspection would be worth the expense for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 And the red text... I hope it's authentic but those are SO rare... what are the chances? Exactly what I thought until I saw this pic posted by a reliable source last night (all 4 are reds :shock: :shock: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Yeah, I saw that too. And look at the non-ivory color of the indices on the top-right example. Is that a *gasp* four-line Red? Hooooooly smokes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Is that a *gasp* four-line Red? Hooooooly smokes. OCC 6536 Now I want a red (non-OCC) dial for my 6536. I remember seeing 1 on 1 of the aftermarket dial sellers' websites not too long ago, but I cannot remember which site (may have been NDT, which has some other red dials, but not a red Bond Sub dial). Unfortunately, the coronet was completely wrong, which is why I passed it by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 i dont remember ever seeing a red 6536 sub with chronometer cert. wow! @ Nanuq - As for the sharpie... Ive thought about it... and if I have a red one, i am going to experiment on a dial tonight and let you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
