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!

Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

These guys have got to be kidding! Eek

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!!! Big Grin

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.

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
Bob
