Price differences for 6251H Bracelets

I'm looking for a 6251H and while browsing eBay I found that there are stark differences in price, ranging from 500$ to 3500$. They all come with the old-style clasp with big logo protruding over the clasp.

If we assume for a minute that they are all in fact genuine, what causes these bracelets to be prices so differently? Is it just due to the production year?! Are there any differences aside from the vanity factor of having a bracelet from the same year as a 6542 for example?

Not sure I would assume that they are all genuine.

ebay is a free market. Anybody can ask anything for their bracelet. What they are actually selling for is a different matter.

Condition, year, rarity of end links, all play a role. Some may be mislabeled c&i too

Sorry if I didn't express myself properly, what I meant to say with that was: what are the reasons for price differences if we take counterfeits out of the equation. If a bracelet is fake, that obviously explains a price difference. I was wondering what are other factors with these bracelets that explain such vast price differences.

7206 bracelets on the other hand don't display as much variability in price. At least the 7206 bracelet lower bound is significantly higher than the 6251H, while the 7206 higher bound is roughly the same as the 6251H.

Clasp variation, and endlinks. big Logo is oldest and with 19mm ends this is harder to find, lots of 20mm 55 ends around. But not worth that much difference IMHO
