Re: why so high... what's special about it....

Yes the clasp looks sepcial. Its different from the usual GF clasps. It's shorter and the bow/clamp (don't know what the right word is) is missing.

I think the price is reasonable. The 1163 MH and V are rarely seen in good condition. I think they are still underappreciated in relationship to the totally hyped "Siffert". I don't know for sure but i think the 1163T is not that much rarer than a genuine 1163 MH. Maybe the experts could jump in at that point.

Cheers,
Manuel

: Not that out of whack for a mint 1163v with a GF bracelet. Without
: the bracelet $2,200?!?! Hard to get
: an unmolested piece these days - I 'm curious as to why the seller
: did not post a pic of the clasp- it may be an unsigned Japanese
: GF like bracelet that was used during the promotional period.
