Yellow .... more
In Response To: Which One Sold for $1,080 ? ? ? ()

The Yellow went for $ 1080.
Red $ 930
1 * Blue $ 710
2 * Blue $ 560 each

If you're looking for a genuine strap, pay close attention to the "Retaining Rings" in the following picture. This is a current day replacement strap.

There are plenty of these straps available in eBay.

Notice the regular shape of the 2 "retaining rings" ( marked Omega )

Now compare them with the "real deal".

The "tongue" on the buckle is also slightly different.

The modern straps usually fetch $200 + but are NOT the genuine 70's article.

Are these difference worth that kind of money ?
