O.K. So I lied. :P I have kept a watching eye on the bracelet - currently on something like it's 20th re-listing, now at  $187 !!

Back in February 2016, in wrapping up this long-running sorry saga at the bottom the previous page, I wrote:


But here's one who won't be bothering to track the re-listings. An ignominious end for the world's most re-listed parts watch.


Indeed, I've been true to my word. But then curiosity got the better of me. The dial / movement and watch case may be long gone, but 12 months on to the day, manic re-listing eBay seller Martinachertok is still re-listing the bracelet from that 7A38-7069 ! :lol:

She hasn't changed her tactics, either. :roll: That 30-day listing was ended early, in the early hours of this morning ....

.... and was immediately replaced by this one, with the Buy-it-Now price increased from $69.95 to $79.95.

I really don't know why I bothered to look at this again. Dumb move. :roll:

I did try to keep tabs on Mad Martina's manic re-listing of this well-worn 7A38-7069 bracelet for a few days, but gave up in the end.

Here's a summary of the last fortnight's activity. All 18 of these were supposedly 30-day listings. All were ended within a day or so.


Here, FWIW (while it lasts) is their current re-listing:

Note the variation in B-I-N price of almost $100 over the last two weeks. Oh and the postage cost has gone up from $69 to $99. :o

That's it for now. Maybe I'll remember to look it up in another year's time. Pretty certain it'll still be there, re-listed for the nth time. :lol:

I didn't remember, as it happens. :roll: But earlier today I was running a worldwide eBay search on '20mm Seiko bracelet' (looking for something else, obviously) and guess what came up in the recent results ? :lol:
