Would love to have it but ain't even getting close to the 7K pound sterling... =(

Actually that bracelet is different to mine. Mine is made up of individual strands of gold, the one for sale is interwoven,that would feel like a solid band compared to mine

Is that a normal price...or heavy over the top. I can not imagine anybody paying so much. 2000 to 2500 euro max.

Like any consumable.Worth what someone will pay.I wouldnt

Everything is worth exactly as much as one poor fool will slam on the counter for it. Well I'd like to buy it but got a wife and kids so got no real excuses to buy it. Washing machine broke down yesterday, Car insurance was due this month, bought a flight ticket to Japan. You name it. So many other ways to spend money at the moment.

Previously mentioned Magique now on German Ebay at a more sensible asking price

For the nice bracelet it changed owners pretty cheap.

Well i got another Magique with a broken glass for a reasonable price. Feels a bit weird that i now have 3 of them, but 2 are broken. Now i stand before a tricky decision - I have a broken pendant/tabletop magique and a broken magique wristwatch with leather strap. Because i wanna raise some fund for the daughters university account I only wanna keep 1 magique which will be the leather strap one which is already working fine. What do i do with the other two to maximize the value? I could make a working leather strap wristwatch from it or a working pendant/tabletop one.

I think the pendant/tabletop model is super rare and thus an ultra rare collectible for Omega friends. Otherwise it is a bit impractical and while everyone wants and can use a wristwatch the pendant one seems to have less practical value. Any advise here? What would you guys do?
