Thanks for the link, Lindell. Which price are you using? ... the maker's retail price, or the price at that site?

If real I would guess higher..around 45 to 55k.

these guys tend to really pump up their retails on diamond goods...

I just saw a diamond encrusted Breitling BMW at an authroized dealer for 77k.

Sheila Gilbert's guess of $12.95 was right in line with my thinking,
but Eric Kroon came the closest with his $25,000.00 estimate!

OK, here's the link to this rascal...

I still say it looks like a Christmas Fab Fake!


These guys have got to be kidding!

Oh well, to each his own.

Lindell, what a great thread! I loved this one.
Look out for some more mystery prices for us. This one was fantastic.

I WAS WRONG!!! I admit it.

A few of my Fab Fakes below.

Take a look. Reall tacky!!! I love it!

The One on left is a Suzanne Somers
The one in the middle is a cheapie ? (French Movmt) lol
The one on the Right is a Dulles Airport Closeout! Marked Geneva, yea right! Japan!
Two under $20.00 and the Somers was $25.00 originally sold on tv for $199.95 I got on ebay for $24.95! I love a cheapie sometimes. (Not Often) but fun for the kids.

Wow! that looks so neat.
Thank you!

This really was not a good place for this now that I think of it. But since I was looking at that huge GLITZY one above, I thought I would share my CHEAP Glitzy ones.

I must be getting tired, the one above doesn't look so bad now. Time for bed!!!

Shelia,

I thought those were good choices, and your glitz taste is impeccable.

However, I would like to submit this as a candidate from my favorite people.

"You have to buy this watch, made with genuine Austrian crystals, what a bargain, won't last at this price, normally $1019.85, we are taking a loss selling at this price"

by my man David Merlmelstein, Pres. of Croton Watch The New Belliageo IV

"If it weren't for bad taste they'd have no taste at all"

Viewed only with my shades on,

Lindell

As a prize then for the closest guess, are you going to buy and award it to the winner Lindell??

Panerai SST/Diamonds:

My Question was: I just wonder about such a high price for a stainless steel watch with a few
diamonds, basic model costing only about a USD 3000?

Answer: Claude,
Do us a favor. Contact Panerai and let them know this. We don't set pricing on their watches.
Thanks
