Quantum of Lower Prices, or "look how cheap you can buy a 5508"

ORIGINAL Rolex James Bond? Submariner 5508 - 1957/58 Ebay item 300270488394

This "collection of parts" sold for just under $7k USD. Hey, I bid $4k or close to it!
Let's break it down for a profit:
movement $1000.00
dial/hands $3000.00
bezel w/insert $1500.00
case w/caseback $2000.00

Hmmmmmm, either someone bought a nice parts lot for under $7k or the whole thing is going in the crapper.

I will say this: The more I look at this "lot" the more I like $4k for it all, and not a penny more.
Wow, I love the smell of Ebay in the morning...smells like victory!
