    Just testing the waters with this one before I go down the adverts/ebay/tz-uk route...
    Soooooo... I was in Boston last week and tried on the IWC Portuguese cal. 50010, automatic, 7-day power-reserve with the in house movement and kind of fell in love with it :o

    L1090997%20(2).jpg

    However I can't keep my 3714 and get the 50010 so if I could get the right price for my own and add some funds to upgrade that would be the ideal scenario!
    My own is from September 2012 so still under warranty and is in mint condition with box and paperwork. RRP on the 3714 is €7100

    Just throwing this out there to see if there's any fellow forum members that might be interested as I'd prefer to deal with the people I know before I head into the murky waters of trying to sell it online! Drop me a PM or comment to let me know if there's any interest cheers!

    Mmmmmm!

    Never thought the Navitimer would come off the wrist but Cyrus's Zenith has been on my wrist since the day I got it, class piece. That IWC could put it into storage for a while though :)

    Well, this didn't last long. But it's a bit too big to wear a suit, and it's not going to replace my daily watch, so I can just see it gathering dust unfortunately.


    Hamilton Jazzmaster Lord Chronograph - Valjoux 7750

    This is sold - but I have just listed my Steinhart Ocean Vintage Military for sale. Thought this would with me for the long haul, but I don't wear it any more so I think I'll get an Ocean 2 for something a bit different.

    Edit: Sold already - looking for a Steinhart Ocean 2 in yellow/blue if anyone has one knocking around

    Hi Lads

    need to sell some watches as they never worn.

    all watches come with the original box, manual and most even have plastic cover on the back. Dublin based. open to reasonable offers.

    What do yous think of the 16000 gold Rolex on adverts? Am I crazy for thinking this is a scam?

    scam or not, would you actually wear it


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,263 ✭✭✭Homer


    Seller can't give an answer as to where it was bought or when and has a yellow post it with hand written specs on it? What's not to worry about! Regardless of whether it's real or not which I seriously doubt it's quite clear the person advertising it hasn't a clue of its history. I wouldn't waste your time! Sure there a breitling colt just gone up and the seller says the battery was just changed?!

    No. It's classless. Everybody has their style and everything. So it might suit someone. It's the most gaudy thing I've ever seen.

    Also 2 bids from people with no feedback? They could try harder to scam you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,263 ✭✭✭Homer


    also if you do a bit of detective work you'll see that the highest bid is from the same guy who has bid on all of the sellers other adverts including an engagement ring and a motorcycle helmet.. I'll leave people to make their own conclusions!!

    that date wheel looks very wrong

    Is there any chance it's legit?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,384 ✭✭✭Deep Thought


    Legit or not, you wouldn't even deal with this bloke, seriously, watch info on a post it.

    Not even a picture of the box

    I would say not. It's either fake or stolen. Either way it's not legit.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,076 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    Even if it was legit - and a trip to a Rolex official agent should sort that out in short order - god good it's hideous. Beyond hideous. Given the seller is touting the serial numbers and such it should be easy to verify with Rolex, but again, it's hideous, tacky beyond measure.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,919 ✭✭✭OldRio


    This I've got to see.


    Good grief.

    Now this has made me look at adverts and just saw the NB Yaeger you likely picked up today. Let me know if you ever flip it.

    Strange that there is no photo. Clicked on the watch icon on adverts Android and got a message about not being able to watch my own ad. WTF.

    Absolutely! (as soon as that Nigerian prince sends me that cash he keeps emailing me about)

    Probably not - and certainly nobody who knows anything about watches - perhaps somebody who thinks they're getting a deal and put's in a low-ball offer that's accepted (1/2 price maybe??)

    anyhoo - it's certainly strange they've all arrived in the last few weeks with no feedback/paperwork etc - dodgier than a dodgy thing!


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 60,076 Mod ✭✭✭✭Wibbs


    Having had a quick perusal on Adverts, there are a few misconceptions all the way to downright lies(which I've reported). The blingy Rolex stuff is only a part of it. In general though it's OK.
