hi , i remember somewhere one of you guys were looking for a bronze Lemans, or pics of one, as this is the rarer colour, there is one forsale on German Ebay now as we speak, could be reasonable too, however as with all Ebay auctions buyer beware !

hope this helps

Nice find

Quote:

# stainless steel version, 1,000 pcs. limited edition, 250 pcs. each dial color
# very rare Bronze dial

So if there was 250 of each colour made, how come the bronze dial is so rare?

Maybe the owners of the Bronze don't want to take apart from them.

That one has been around for a while and a couple of people told me about it via PM when I was looking.

There are 250 of each, plus 24 gold for the black, blue and silver, but not bronze. I always thought that one reason that the bronze were the rarest was because they had the lowest numbers, but that's not true - the numbers aren't sequential for the colours.

It definitely is the rarest of them on the secondary market, but I had a bit of a surprise when I picked mine up. It was originally sold in Spain, and not until 2005 - 2 years after it became available. Now that's just one watch, but maybe it wasn't as appealing a colour to the general public so the ones that did sell were more likely to go to true collectors.

One thing I do know - there's at least one that will never be sold :lol:

I'm quite sure that you'd give it for a reasonable offer of 90,000. :lol:

Hmmmmmm, well I've been watching this bronze Le Mans on the Bay (as I was actually tempted to go for it myself as I've always fancied owning all 4 colour variants! Yes, greedy I know! :oops:

) and it's just sold for 5120 Euros or £4466.34 GBP. I had a price in mind, and that exceeded it so I didn't bid, but I wonder if it was someone on here? Hmmmmmmmmmm...........

Pictures please if it was! :thumbsup:

Well, I would have got it if my computer hadn't died on me.

Now I ended up as the second highest bidder but that's no good. Well, just to keep looking I guess.

Really sorry for you on that one.
