ww12345 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 They look gen to me, but basically NOS. Does ring a few alarm bells... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S. Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 These bracelets and seller are gen, fatderek is sourcing parts and bracelets then assembles or restores them after that he sells refurbished bracelets. I'm seeing that one is mid 80's and another one is from service and mid 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 The question for me is...who would pay $1180 for a bracelet that went for $200 a few years ago? Imho of course. I assembled a genuine 93150 except for the diver extension from parts and have $35 in it up to now so my perspective on these things is totally different. A friend bought out a jewelry store in Kentucky a few years ago that was a rolex AD in the 1960s through the 1980s and he got about 20 pounds of bracelets and bracelet parts for a couple hundred bucks. Current prices knock me flat. I guess I have been in this game too long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 It has been more than a decade since I last saw a $200 9315 in that condition. & if I needed another gen 9315, I would happily pay $1,180 for a mint 1. Next year, that price may seem like a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam007 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Also Derek is notorious of splitting up heads and bands to try and make a bit more $$$.... for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Based on the tool marks around the interlocking pieces, it is pretty obvious the end links did not come on these bracelets from the Rolex factory. But he did a good job in not damaging too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
