Finepics Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Posted June 18, 2006 Serious piece of watch though - worth it I guess (if you have the dough)
chris5264 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Very nice,,,,, Today I engaged in the act of a truely desperate man, I bought a lottery ticket. If I win, that will be my first purchase.
sevomd Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Definitely worth it. You also get all the dials. I'd only want the watch though and sell off the depth and compass. I don't know if I could wear it though. Might just keep it in a vault and wear my WM. Eddy
trustywatchguy Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 These are really RARE gems hard to come by... If I had the money, I would keep them and sell them off 10 years later.. at least 50% extra profits... Vintage is not only style but value too... =) ANDREW
Willith Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 This is like the 3rd one of these I have seen for sale in the past few months. They all go for HUGE amounts of money. They are nice, but I don't know if they are that nice. I don't have that kind of disposable income though.
thealphabeta Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 This is true i guess, its more an investment than a sweeping purchase. I have nearly enough to buy it.....pshhhhh i wish!
Watchmeister Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Fabulous item. IMHO, overpriced relative to other sets sold. At that price or substantially less you would expect all pieces to be in the original box and to have the original movement in the watch. My read on the description is that the person has assembled these items over time and the movement in the watch may or may not be original. Compass and depth guage usually sell for 4,000-6,000 each depending on age and condition. The watch alone regularly sells for $20,000 or so. All in around $30,000. Matched set in box - $60,00-80,000. I have only seen two or three sell at auction though. Of course the extra dials are worth quite a bit too. Having said all that, if I had $80,000 hanging around I would be dying to buy it.
madasboot Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 ... if I had $80,000 hanging around I would be dying to buy it.
Watchmeister Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Perhaps you should have taken the insurance out on her.
madasboot Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Perhaps you should have taken the insurance out on her. Fortunatelly she's much more worthy than that, but thanks for the idea
Watchmeister Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Glad to hear it. But I did have to check.
lancelot Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Fortunatelly she's much more worthy than that, but thanks for the idea
sevomd Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 ... if I had $80,000 hanging around I would be dying to buy it. Thats the value for my life insurance! I think if I kill myself right on time before the auction ends I may ask my wife to buy it...
thomasng Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 $87,500 for that set..... I wouldn't buy it half-price to be honest, since I don't understand the appeal of that watch. Sorry.
Finepics Posted June 18, 2006 Author Report Posted June 18, 2006 $87,500 for that set..... I wouldn't buy it half-price to be honest, since I don't understand the appeal of that watch. Sorry. Obviously you do not have Paneraitis yet!!!
Willith Posted June 18, 2006 Report Posted June 18, 2006 Recently I've seen one of these watches alone go for $55K and another go for $75K, so they are very rare to find, but no matter I don't have that much cash and I don't want it that bad.
BenWaaaaah Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 If you kill yourself, no insurance money. Eddy Only in the 1st two years...
ubiquitous Posted June 19, 2006 Report Posted June 19, 2006 Prices for the 3646 are coming up close to 6 figure territory... So, for a Trittico collection, it's a fair price. But factor in the extra dials, and it's quite a nice 'wow' package...
Willith Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 Here's a nice 3646 for $58K anyone want it? 3646 for $58000
