Re: Just Purchased Siffert from Pawn Stars

Congratulations, Carlo! Just a note that you shouldn't feel like you need to find a bracelet for it to make it original. It may very well have come on a Corfam strap from Heuer originally. The Gay Freres bracelets were an added more expensive option. My guess is that it originally came on a Corfam strap and the original owner then decided he wanted a bracelet on it, so he bought the cheap thing currently on it.

That said, the correct bracelet would be a nice addition so I am not discouraging you from searching for one, only making the point that it may not have had a Gay Freres bracelet originally. We won't blame Pawn Stars for their lack of detailed Heuer knowledge, haha.
