JoJo35 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 What people will pay for a busted up worn out bezel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Nothing surprises me anymore my Alaskan chum, not even the Spanish Inquisition I was actually following a listing a few weeks back of an almost identical 6542 bezel/insert, except the bakelite was in better condition than this one. You want to know the final price? $23,000. I guess someone thinks (probably correct too) that he'll add that and much more on to the value of his 6542 with a complete and original bezel. I expect this one will fetch around the same. Insanity, but that is practically the motto of the vintage Rolex market these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Vanguard Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 This is ridiculous and completely brainless. The person bidding probably has more money than he knows what to do with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 This is ridiculous and completely brainless. The person bidding probably has more money than he knows what to do with. Or he knows that somebody else will pay even more money as soon as he restores a 6542 with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kokedose Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 WOW. what a disgusting amount of money to pay for a piece of rolex history, do the people that bid on these things not understand the good that money could bring to those not as fortunate? It is a small bit of Bakelite. People are real and breathe. My 2 quid. Be lucky @ll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 How much is a whole 6542 worth? I was at one of my used watch dealers stores a few months ago and he pulled an old GMT out of the case for me. It had a rare chocolate dial. The chocolate dial on the GMT apparently is more rare than on a sub. He told me he had been offered $25k for it but wouldn't take less than $40k. I said it's nice but let me try on the gold yachtie again.......... Check out #190244131097. over $750 already. Just a few years ago I bought and sold one of these for around $200. Things have gone up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 WOW. what a disgusting amount of money to pay for a piece of rolex history, do the people that bid on these things not understand the good that money could bring to those not as fortunate? Steady on, old chap! It's not like he burned the money while laughing at weeping orphans. Disgusting? What business is it of anyone's how they spend their spare money?
