AUCTION TERMS

Item for Sale: https://cryptomatic.io/collections/the-cryptomat-collection-bitcoin-watches

These stunning watches were sold in 2014 for a very brief time.  There is only a few hundred sets ever made.  This auction is for a complete set of watches, with matching serial #31.

This is the original watch collection from Cryptomatic, very hard to find these days, especially a complete set.

These are all brand new, the black watch was resized (links included) for review & pictures (see images below).  All watches are in amazing condition.  The box glue the company used has failed over the years.  The boxes are in rough shape, but they have protected the watches perfectly.

Curious...is the price too high?  Or just no interest in these?

Price is fair, my hunch is it's a tough market rn with too many unknowables

With BTC down, people are reluctant to spend and would rather accumulate at these prices. You’ll probably have better luck once bitcoin rebounds.

You’ll probably have better luck once bitcoin rebounds.

I'm not sure I agree with this, except that people may be a little freer with their coins.
For myself, I tend to price non-funded collectibles in fiat as I will always feel the need to replace watever BTC I spend on the purchase.
MHO for what it worth

I'm keeping an eye on this auction because the watches are dope and the collection is awesome!

[Crytocanuk]

I definitely see your point sweeteye. I see one of the OG whales picking up a beauty like this for a 1/4 or a 1/5 of the amount of bitcoin the OP is asking for once bitcoin rebounds. For a relative newbie like me it’s hard to justify using bitcoin to purchase a watch like this… I’d rather be accumulating btc right now. Once the price rebounds though, this watch would definitely look amazing on my wrist.
