there is a "pigeonesque" question been asked on that auction, no punctuation, rambling dialog, usual bullsh#t story and please sell it to me early.

Is this a solid gold bracelet? These usually have a stainless inner.

I was being a smarty....some think the pigeon lives on in another life form here.

well, we`ll have to flush him out then.

I suspect we are getting sandbagged by this seller. His pictures are great, he mentions gold-filled, but never shows the back. That is the real question - I will go ask it. That might be a solid 14k braclet, on a g/f case. In which case, the winner should take the band off and set it aside. IMHO.

Quoting and answering yourself is very unusual. Unless you are avian. Cooo-coooo(pigeon sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvVBFFhAssE ).

It all just makes me feel like Mary Poppins,singing, "Feed the Birds". Where is Dick VanDyke when I need him?

[LEDluvr]

I didn't realize holly35 quoted himself until just now! Too funny... And they say California is full of fruits and nuts!
(uhh.. no offense intended holly35...)

[holly35]

I am not in the sense that Eds implying speaking to myself .
The reason i used the "quote" again was to restate the fact that i had already asked the "is this a solid gold band"question earlier in the thread before Ed asked the same question later,obviously he didn't read the complete thread first.

Not only had I read the entire thread(starting with the first post - I get those as they are created), but I had pointed out that it might be a mix/match situation. I scour ebay 2-3 times a day - I'm not some dabbler at this.. I didn't miss the tag in the one picture, I didn't miss the band - it is NOT my job to point out possible [good] deals on ebay to other people. I was hoping (against hope, really) that OTHER PEOPLE wouldn't pay notice to the inside of that band. Sometimes other people miss something sweet, sometimes I do.

It really is better if a person at least plays with themselves using two accounts - makes it look like you got game. Even if.....pffff!

We don't know that for certain. Without a pic of the inside of the case, it could be a goldfill case. It does look like a SG band. As for the disappearing logo, that's an artifact of angle-of lighting effects; this crystal has the logo done in gold leaf, and shows up well in pics only when the illumination is coming from directly behind the viewer. Mixing of solid and gold-fill parts is not unknown on Pulsar watches; just last week, a P3 showed up with a solid gold case and a goldfill bracelet (the near-impossible-to-find 3115...first one I've seen on eBay in nine years, suggesting it is one of the rarest production Pulsars ever). The 2975 P2 is another example of this mixed base and precious metal construction. Anyway, without a clear inside-the-case pic, this one should be regarded with caution.
Well, clearly, the odds favor this being a 3130. It will be interesting to see how the bidding goes (I was really hoping that, being in Europe, this might turn out to be in 18K...now, THAT would have been a find!). This watch does represent a new serial number block, however (160). I have seen 133, 134, 136, 137, 176, 295, and 315. The last one on eBay was 136446. My 3130s are 133, 134, 136(2), and 176. One 3140 in 138.

I totally agree with Bruce - the seller seems very prepared with the pictures, but with no shot of the inside, it could be a real burn.

[SASM]

Might happen but not very likely. The bracelet in 14k is much rarer then the case, especially in Germany where solid versions are not very common. Moreover the seller is from Hamburg, one of the richest cities. Does anybody has a phone number yet?

[retroleds]

Update: seller claims to be out of town, will not be pulling the movement. But he does claim it is a 3130, as "that is what the tag says" - so all 14k, no gold-filled. Albeit, "no refunds" and the listing does say gold-filled....so he may be hedging. Considering how much the seller apparently knows, but he still stopped short of the elusive "proof", makes me suspicious. I personally am not taking any further run at it - I have a few gold backs, rings, bracelets and tags, from solid gold items where the case took a hit it couldn't recover from - making a piece that looks like it should be solid and actually having one are not the same. "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered."

Gold value might be $3k if solid 14k?...sorry, I know we have weighed these before, someone else will dig up the threads I imagine. Or Bruce probably has the proper weights recorded Hey Bruce, was good to "See" you again.

they are getting nuts!! 1360 euro

What is really nuts is that the seller didn't know to pull out the module to show whether it was solid gold or not. Then it might go another 500-800 EUR. Or more, depending.
