they could be worth anywhere near that price. I bought an 18K braclet for my Clerc Chronograph a few months ago for $3000. It weighed over 250grams. Granted I did get it at cost because the distributor wanted to get rid of it, but, if you price similar SS bracelets I doubt you would find any at comparable prices. I think $1000 is more than enough. What the hell do I know?
