cc33 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 This guy bought this dial and hands on vrm a little while ago for 1700$ and now he wants 5000$ for the hands alone with no dial.. I can't even comprehend this behaviour http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ULTRA-RARE-EARLY-VINTAGE-ROLEX-SUBMARINER-GILT-HANDS-WITH-LOLLIPOP-FROM-THE-50-/121100648854?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c32294196&_uhb=1#ht_559wt_922 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc33 Posted April 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Here's another, 3-4000$ dial I can't remember but I considered buying it when it went on sale a few months ago on vrm, now the buyer wants 17k! Shameful really. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Super-Rare-Vintage-Factory-Original-Rolex-Cosmograph-Dial-for-6265-6263-14K-18K?item=281058137438&cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D2%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7225083845601567170#ht_1657wt_689 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 There is an eBay store called "Three Gold Brothers." They buy factory reject Franck Muller dials and resell them to suckers on eBay for the full list price of a pristine service dial. The world is full of assholes.

sgtguk Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Never ceases to amaze me how the human race can act to fuck each other at any given opportunity as a race we need to seriously look at how we treat our fellow beings.............and I need another Jim Beam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 If we all send them offers of $5 with a note telling them they're gold diggers... It probably wouldn't make them pause for thought for a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I remember a while back when one of the big dealers bought an early Sub on eBay for something like $20-30K, then sold it on VRM for >$50K within a couple of days. Arbitrage works both ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpz5142 Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 You know, it is greed on the buyers side just as it is on the sellers side. The buyer is greedy for the pristiege to have a vintage watch and the buyer is just more than willing to clean up by selling a high priced part.
