but the price is not for me . . . even the minimum bid is probably $1,000 over market, based on the condition, etc.

I have missed two of these recently, one that could have been had for $1,800 and another that I did have for $2,000 {and was stolen in the mail, or maybe was stolen by the seller). Both were on leather straps, not the original bracelet.

Thank you for pointing this one out; some day, I will manage to snag one of these (to be able to see what all the excitement is about).
