the collector Posted May 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 @Avitt, those are some very good points you made there. I think what we need to do is to try to trace the source of those bridges that are used on the pics that you posted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Pismo said long, long ago... MBW's are not replicas. Rather, they are clones. I have to agree 100% with this statement (and I would also include the vintage Cosmo and El Primero frankens in that category as well) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 @ Collector and Avitt, I wonder if DW would happen to have a source or lead on those bridges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest avitt Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Unfortunately, DW's not the guy for these bridges (as shown in the doubleredseadweller.com photo above)...he'd definitely be supplying them, if he could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest avitt Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 about this ..i have found this ebay item 8934194796 i seek this user from a long time ...in the past he have sold some cases for 6263/6265... all marked... and some bridges like this one... I've been watching this seller for a long time, as well. He has sold both genuine, and replica bridges. This one looks very good, but you will need to change out the jewels. Expect the final price on this to be $500+. Recently, he sold a 6265 case set for $3000. I expect his 6263 set to get ~$2000. One thing to keep in mind, if you want to buy from this guy: bid early. He routinely ends auctions with 12 hours to go, if the item has not been bid up to his satisfaction...It's his method of maintaining a "reserve", and discouraging sniping.

the collector Posted May 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) This bridge looks nice... i want it!! But like avitt mentioned the auction is going to end at a high price. @Avitt why does his cases sell for that high price?

Guest avitt Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 @Avitt why does his cases sell for that high price? This is the price that buyers will pay for cases which are assumed to be genuine...and much higher for those with proven provenance (if they can be found).

Edge Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Movement may be available on it's own but for the right price, please feel free to make an offer. Only if a undeniable offer is made can we afforsd to sell the movement seperately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
