jfreeman420 Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I had one a while ago before gold was so expensive. Sorry I sold it. Where have you seen them for sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 As I recall, I've seen 18kt bracelets on the bay for around $3K and solid gold cases for like $1.8-2K and you'd still need a dial and movement. So, if that's what you're looking for, it's not a bad price. But I can't tell you anything about the quality of the gold in Josh's rep... But for that kinda money, I'd spend a few more dollars and get a gen. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 Maybe something like this vintage Date model and put a gold band on it. Also, I've seen vintage Day-Dates in the $6-7K range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 That price is a bit high. I don't think these have the same gram weight as the aftermarket cases and bracelets sold on ebay. Either way you can pick up a nice used genuine president for between $4,000 and $5,000. You just have to look for the right deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 I would not buy a rep for 4k if it does not have the underlying value. Over @trc Tom sold a pimp-ass bling rolex daydate, solid gold with rolex movement and real diamonts, for similar amount of cash joshua asks for his. I've seen solid 18k gold case kits for 1600-1800 usd (just the case + saphire). I like Aligoats statement ``for that kinda money, I'd spend a few more dollars and get a gen.`` Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrnixon Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I would not dream of paying so much for a rep. Fill up a little bit more and you will get a second hand gen with a the feeling of a gen, which is serviceable, presentable as a gen and with a re-sale value of a gen if you some time in the future want to sell it.

itreeman Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 I agree with the others, re-sale value of the rep is going to be pretty much non-existant while the gen obviously will have "real" value. I could never see myself spending that kind of money on a rep.... Maybe 15 reps but not ONE rep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard_uk Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 There's a guy on TRC selling an 18k Daytona and 18k Yacht Master, I think he wants around $1400 each or $2500 the pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
