508-Fanatic Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 I'll get us started: $57k 5513" mislabeled in the auction with no serial or movement photo's... PCG case too. Feel free to share more!
droptopman Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 Nice, Here you go a $12K SS bracelet that is not attached to a watch from a seller with a feedback score of 97.8%. Well I guess I could make an offer. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-ROLEX-PAT-PENDING-9315-BRACELET-YEAR-1-67-/161487576359?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item259968dd27
Seacraft Posted December 24, 2014 Report Posted December 24, 2014 I'll get us started: $57k 5513" mislabeled in the auction with no serial or movement photo's... PCG case too. Feel free to share more! Hey Bawstin - that guy is always high priced.
jigelow Posted December 25, 2014 Report Posted December 25, 2014 How about this. Sure to make someone's Christmas brighter for only $2900. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=231430556029&alt=web
508-Fanatic Posted December 25, 2014 Author Report Posted December 25, 2014 Jigelow, wow that is one horrid rep, I don't even want to use the word rep as its insulting to the quality we have now. Droptopman - love the bracelet, the funny thing about really crazy rolex guys is that everything must be 110% original, so nobody would pay $12k to stick a bracelet on a watch that is a serious collector, outside of a franken guy who would never pay that, it leaves but one insane person to buy it as a "collectible item."
JoeyB Posted December 28, 2014 Report Posted December 28, 2014 Maybe it's me. Broken, with pieces missing? http://www.ebay.com/itm/151520159945?_trksid=p2060778.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I have a couple of mine for only $25.
POTR Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Not even all the broken pieces are there..
lhooq Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Maybe it's me.

Maybe the buyer thought these 6542 inserts are like starfish, and hopes to grow nine new ones from these pieces!
JoeyB Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 Maybe the buyer thought these 6542 inserts are like starfish, and hopes to grow nine new ones from these pieces! Oh, wow! That is a GREAT marketing idea! Thank you so much!! 'JoeyB's Amoeba Inserts' $25usd each.
lhooq Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 'JoeyB's Amoeba Inserts' $25usd each. Fantastic! On a similar vein, I always wondered if you could make a Daytona or GMT bezel out of a Shrinky Dink... (Children of the 70s and 80s will understand that!)
JoeyB Posted January 13, 2015 Report Posted January 13, 2015 I was about to take offense and demand that anything my ex claimed could never be trusted, but decided to google "shrinky dink" first. They have such a think for inkjet printers, shrinks in the oven. I don't know how you get the right size with little control of the shrinkage.

(Children of the 70s and 80s will understand that!) Wasn't there a discussion about that when the ceramic bezels came out? ;^p

POTR Posted January 26, 2015 Report Posted January 26, 2015 Too bad no one saved a pic for posterity... Already gone.
jigelow Posted January 27, 2015 Report Posted January 27, 2015 Too bad no one saved a pic for posterity... Already gone. It had a white dial, basically dot matrix Rolex printing, "serti" indices, one of which fell off, and a display case back showing a Miyota movement with "Rolex scrawled on the rotor. He didn't have box and papers with it, but he guaranteed it was 100% genuine Rolex.
508-Fanatic Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Posted January 27, 2015 I, for one, had it yanked. Some neophyte was about to drop $700+ on that garbage. The seller played dumb, saying he wasn't an expert, just getting rid of old things. When I tried to press him as to what, with the power of Google, would lead him to say it was 100% authentic he was gone...

508-Fanatic Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Posted February 16, 2015 Not sure if this one qualifies as "dumb enough" because it's only a few hundred bucks...(only)... or just as incredibly poor taste... http://www.pure-time.com/product/shock-resist-yg-yellow-gold-dial-on-black-rubber-strap-quartz/

POTR Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Dang. If that was stainless or platinum they could call it the Dave123 G-Shocker.
Nanuq Posted February 17, 2015 Report Posted February 17, 2015 Attempting to call forth The Dave from beyond? *donning Nomex*
