    Re: Very rare Bang & Olufsen watch for sale - only 99 pcs made

    I really like it, but... you know what puts me off ?  The 'BANG & OLUFSEN' logo..

    Before you think i've gone mad - i must say that it's a beautiful watch in itself, but with the B&O logo makes it look like a dealer gift.  Of course, it's a million miles away from the usual cheap watches they give away - but the name Anonimo isn't one most people are familiar with.

    I think you're pretty accurate with the price (I've seen them at 4800-5,300€ before) and i do wish you luck selling it here! I'm sure a wealthy beo-nut would love it on his or her wrist. You should post some images - and of the box too (I wonder if B&O did the aluminium lock/clasp for it?)

    I wanted to like it, but I don't.

    I am sure someone will be delighted to add it to their collection, though!

    Good luck with the sale!

    Hi Carsten,

    Sorry, I should have quantified that...it is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my price range, not in a range that would be anywhere near what you are asking or what it's worth!

    Unfortunately other priorities take first place

    Good luck with the sale! Yes -  thumbs up
