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

Post by 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 ! :lol: 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. :roll:

Seiko SQ Diver Two Tone mens bracelet 18mm, Band Ref : B1615-E , Part Name : 00490

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. :)
