Watch to strap value

[pantagruel]

Let's see if we could find some really extreme watch value to strap value ratios (value of watch divided by value of strap it is on). A very large number would mean the watch is worth much more than the strap, and a small number (under one) would mean the strap is worth more than the watch!

My Tissot Visodate (around $450) on Hirsch Italocalf (around $25) = a watch:strap ratio of 18.

[Seriously]

Due to an astonishing 2nd hand buy in price for the watch (and a genuine replacement strap), this combo works out at (watch/strap) about 2.5 to 1
(Nivrel 320, and a Nivrel replacement strap for ~£50)
I'll try and post a better one showing the actual strap later.

If I'd have bought the watch new, the ratio would have lunged into the 24 to 1 sort of level !!


I think we need to work out a watch to watch strap ratio unit naming scheme ......

Can we call it a wap or a strach ??
or maybe a Straptch ?

So my example would have a wap (or stratch) factor of 2.5

I like WAP... New term for the WIS lexicon!

[Seriously]

WAP it is then

Watch: $4250
Strap: $10

WAP: 425.

Edited for poor early-morning math!

WAP = 1.64

$7500 watch on $10.5 strap (got it from Panatime's clearance)

Gives the ratio of 714.28

That sound you heard was my jaw dropping
