How much for a NOS two-tone Seiko bracelet ???

[Seiko7A38]

There are some greedy lazy incompetent cowboys out there. This NOS Seiko p/n B1615C bracelet, to suit a two-tone 7A38-7270 SAA094J (and 7A38-727A SAA132J) was listed earlier this afternoon, by a Cypriot eBay seller, with a risible Buy-it-Now price of $265 ! He's listed it using the number stamped in the fixing tube ends: B1615.E, rather than the correct Seiko part number, shown on the label. He evidently has no idea what it's used on (hence his inclusion of 'Diver') nor its true comparative worth.

I've bought a complete almost mint watch for much less than half that price - 72 Euros off eBay Germany in April 2018.

Probably out of habit, I added that original listing for a Seiko p/n B1615C bracelet to my eBay watching page. I've long since lost count of the number of times the Cypriot seller re-listed it over the last 18 months. Recently, he'd been re-listing it as 10-day auctions. In last month or so he finally reduced the opening bid price below $100 and kept going.

When it dropped as low as $30, seemed too good an opportunity to pass up. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404020232123

My last incoming for 2022 (there haven't actually been that many in recent months) arrived in this morning's post: the comparatively cheap NOS Seiko p/n B1615C bracelet.
