Staggering Ebay auction

Nothing surprises me anymore my Alaskan chum, not even the Spanish Inquisition :D

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

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 :)

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.......... :p

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.

Steady on, old chap! It's not like he burned the money while laughing at weeping orphans. :p

Disgusting? What business is it of anyone's how they spend their spare money?
