t Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 PAM makes all crazy look here on ebay germany is a genuine PAM vintage strap at 1.167euro and 22h to the end of auction http://cgi.ebay.de/Panerai-Lederband-ORIGI...1QQcmdZViewItem
FxrAndy Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Some people must have supid or crazy money though, pesonaly i dont!
pubus Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 yeah, ive seen that before, this is crazy. I mean whats so special about this particular strap? is it real gold stitched or what? I understand that the vintage old leather is a must have item for every pam lover, but for gods sake... Id never ever spend so much on one particular strap :/
chris5264 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 This reminds me of a story of a guy that had a pet chicken. Turns out he won the lottery while this chicken was on his shoulder. He started thinking it was some type of lucky chicken and convinced others of this,,,,he ended up selling the chicken's crap for decent amounts of money to people. Now, I'm not saying an old panerai strap is the same as chicken crap,,,,,,,,,,,but (I'm not sure this story is true but is in a book called "why smart people believe weird things")
section8 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 I'd say it's a little crazy AND stupid to pay that much for a strap.
Pugwash Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 he ended up selling the chicken's crap for decent amounts of money to people. See, here's why I don't think it's true: If he won the lottery, why would he start a career as a [censored]-shoveller?
TwoTone Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 See, here's why I don't think it's true: If he won the lottery, why would he start a career as a shit-shoveler? @Scoop I would expect better word chose from you... The guy obviously wasn't a Shit "Shoveller"... But a Shit Peddler... Gees Louise... Some people... TT PS: It's Shoveler...
Pugwash Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 PS: It's Shoveler... It's both, but thanks for playing. shoveler |ˈ sh əv(ə)lər| ( chiefly Brit. shoveller) noun 1 a person or thing that shovels something. 2 a dabbling duck with a long broad bill. • Genus Anas, family Anatidae: four species, in particular A. clypeata of Eurasia and North America. [ORIGIN: late Middle English (denoting a spoonbill): alteration of earlier shovelard, from shovel , perhaps influenced by mallard.] Being British, I use the British English spelling.
TwoTone Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Being American... I use the British American spelling TT

sssurfer Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 That is a insult to poverty. At that price that strap should be made of pussy skin -- and of a rare one too.
Pugwash Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 That is a insult to poverty. Why? Poor people don't own Panerais. The strap is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it, and that's apparently a lot. Should a Jackson Pollock painting only be worth a few quid because he did it in an afternoon? It's like rare first print books, are they also an insult to poverty?
TwoTone Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 That is a insult to poverty. At that price that strap should be made of pussy skin -- and of a rare one too. Or not so rare [now]...
Watchmeister Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 For anyone who thinks it is not crazy, put your money where your mouth is. There is still time left.
rqthrottle Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Argh!! My eyes!! Or not so rare [now]...

mrnixon Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 It is of course totally crazy to pay such an amount for a leather strap. But on the other hand, the buyer probaly owns a matching watch from the same time period. I am dont know the price level on those watches but I would guess around 50 000 usd but I guess it could also be twice as much. Considering that, it all of a sudden makes sense to spend 2% on a correct strap.
ryyannon Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 Irregardless of the price, that strap is just plain.... ugly.
V Posted January 21, 2007 Report Posted January 21, 2007 The price is ok if you consider that only the genuine GPF buckle like this go for 500 euros I personally dont have that amount money and I believe other straps are by far more interesting BUT the price is OK.. The vintage Pams are now 50.000USD and they literally most of them don't worth even the 1/100 of that price. It's the HISTORY, RARITY, and exclusivity that makes the price.
