Although this may not be the most appropriate forum for this question, i felt like the regulars here might be able to help.
I purchased a brand new Alphatime 1000m. sawfish diver on the bracelet. (awesome watch by the way!!) The moment it arrived from Germany, i removed the bracelet and put it on a strap. Although the bracelet is of top-notch quality, due to the heavyweight, i will never use it.
Aside from the engraved 'a' on the clasp, it is identicle in quality and build to the KZ nautalis bracelet. the basic design and quality is also the same as the kobold seal bracelet (slightly different shaped links, and bead-blased, not brushed like kobold), and similar to the stowa prodiver bracelet. also, it is almost the same as the dreadnought bracelet, with minor variation. All these bracelets were likely made in the same factory (Fricker??) with the same quality control standards.
So my question is this, since i have never seen a KZ or alphatime bracelet sold on the salescorner by itself, should i look to the price of a kobold bracelet in determining how much i want to sell it for? those bracelets sell for around $300- $350 i believe. At the same time, if i sell the bracelet, and then try to flip the diver later on, do you think it would reduce the achievable price of the diver more than what i would gain by selling it separately?
feel free to post responses or pm me. if pics would be helpful, i can post some...
thanks,
