Re: Wow that was one determined bidder -

So... it looks like if you have an original 60s Heuer with the original bracelet that you plan to sell, you would make a LOT more $$$$ to sell them separately?

: I was watching that one and I must say am staggered at the winning
: bid. I have been collecting beads of rice bracelets for the last
: few months as I have about 5 late 50s early 60's chronographs
: which really suit these bracelets. In fact I got a Bulova 23
: jewel for $40 which had a Spiedel beads of rice bracelet in
: almost NOS condition only so I could get the bracelet, it is
: worth at least twice what I paid for the watch. These style
: bracelets are in my opinion becoming a lot rarer and more
: collectable, and even if unsigned make a nice addition to a
: vintage chronograph.
