Deep Thought

This is tentative....and aint on adverts.ie yet

Possible sale of my Speedmaster Moon 3570.50 unless you have a Panerai for trade

Its 1 year old...bought from big retailer in London, you all know about this watch, so not much else to say

Reckoning around €3250 (not sure if thats ok or not but feel it is)

True SC and I have, way back in the day, so am beyond temptation. Get the behind me satan Deep Thought. But yea GLWS Sir. One of your watches is gonna be a good one as a given.

Available: A cheap n' cheerful aid for finding your time, and compass bearings at night, if sub-100m underwater:
Scratch free and new divers strap, box. It just needs a new battery, and didn't fancy opening it up as they're usually sealed backs.
Would swap for something with a quick set alarm (via dial not digital).

Jawgap

I'm just glad you didn't post it up tomorrow when I've a few beers on board

Sorely tempted.........

How old is the watch? Is it just the leather strap included? Does it have any issues?

Funny you say that DT and as an aside… *bans self* I was always into the early quartz stuff and really got into them when the vintage ticking stuff I liked went mad money time(for me), but these days though I do wear my mechanicals, it's nearly always as a "special occasion", for everyday use I usually throw on one of the 40 odd year old battery jobs.

I was kinda always like this looking back. I've never kept a mechanical with date for very long, ditto for automatics. The time only hand crankers were and are my speed. A few seconds to set and wind in the morning and away you go.

I suppose another aspect of this is that I have soooo many watches. Like 20 plus. Y'know; nutter. . If I had just one watch it would likely be an auto with date, either a Rolex Sub if I had the cash(though the Mercedes hands would be swapped out as they make my teeth itch) or a Seiko Diver of some description. Funny enough part Deux, the Omega Speedy would probably be the third choice if I wanted the extra "apps". See I can get back on topic. *unbans self* :pac:

I have had so many top notch watches, but am afraid to wear them sometimes and often cannot justify to myself having a 4K watch that I wear a few dozen times...

Find my self wearing my Suunto more often, am really looking a those new Laco..not expensive but good and no fear of doing it harm...ya know what i mean ??

It's from 2008. Belonged to the manager of Paul Sheerans. Comes with both leather straps - brown and black. No issues whatsoever, it's running like a dream. Full set also with all boxes and papers.

Should have also said, a deal available for boards members

CrowdedHouse

I don't know how many times I've tried to buy a Speedy Pro - tried in the sense want/don't want/want/don't want etc!

My want side tells me it would be grand and legible (without reading glasses) at football matches......My don't want side says my Zenith EP is perfectly readable or my old quartz TAG Heuer F1 with 60/60 hands also..and I have a Speedy Pro X33....

Such turmoil!

Deep Thought

after watching Apollo 13 again...

its a damn fine watch

Mredsnapper

DT, it's more than a fine watch - it's a great watch. Keep it and wear it. If it gets dinged that can be fixed. Don't worry.

I think you are right....

Have you tried on on a strap yet. It's like a totally different watch. I just ordered a new Di-Modell Saddle Dakar for mine.

I've got some interest on one of my watches and it may or may not go to sale agreed, however, whats peoples best way to selling your watch?

I'd be wary of meeting someone in a public place in case its a scam. Also how do you take payment? Cash only? Where is the best place to meet and do the deal?

I buy watches and get bored quick so sell them on
I usually accept PayPal and that works great, buyer and seller are protected
I occasionally meet up with people for cash, usually take someone with me just in case, but everyone I've met has been very nice
There is a service station near me with cctv which is handy but that's just me being over cautious

Where are you selling be watch ?
Adverts and eBay are good because of the feedback system
There are scammers on eBay though I had one recently that wanted he watch sent to an army base in Iraq
That wasn't happening lol

selling on adverts...

interested party has been a member a year with only 3 feedbacks, 2 positive, one negative

if you were going down the paypal route, how would this work?

I'm sure the prospective buyer isn't going to pay until seen.

I used advert's twice and never again. First time got tired of the low ball offers and comments so withdrew the watch and gave it to my eldest son. Second time agreed to a sale but the buyer never turned up. I have sold two watches through this forum in the past though and the experience was really good.

I have sold over 40 watches using PayPal
They send you the payment and you post the watch that's it, PayPal take 3.5% of the total so factor this in when making your deal
Adverts is normally very good
If you are meeting someone make sure you don't travel and then you won't lose anything if they don't turn up

Something I've wanted for ages has come up at a good price, so looking to raise some funds. I have a mint IWC Aquatimer Chrono Galapagos Edition. Under warranty until next month. All boxes and papers. I paid €5k last month, but would let it go for €4750 if anyone's interested. Will withdraw if the one I'm chasing sells in the meantime.
Here's a stock image. Will take pics of mine tomorrow.

I was in Basel (again!) during the week and saw one of these in real life, on a wrist of someone I was out with.
The pictures do not do it justice. A fantastic watch!

Here you go, that's a generous price, any bezel issues?

goose banker

blue5000 - Thanks a mil for posting that link for me - not enough posts here to do so.

No issues with the bezel, there's a small misalignment at 12 o 'clock when it's hard against it's detent but you can just wiggle it slightly and she's in line. It's the newer bezel design on this watch which is held on with 4 small screws on the periphery of the bezel against an inner ring - same design as an OWC I used to own and Sinn use as far as I'm aware, among some others.

The above Squale watch is now sold. Many thanks to the buyer, to blue5000 for helping me with the ad link and to all who showed interest.

Looking to buy a Seiko Jubilee bracelet for an SKX diver if someone has one knocking about that they are not using just send a pm and let me know your price. I can pick one up from eBay fairly cheap but I figured I would see if someone here is looking to part with theirs.

Must be full length.

I am sure a lot were waiting to see how long this took me !!!

I really like your Laco and did think of buying it but it is just quite dear, relatively speaking (eg say comparing to the Casablanca model); i.e. not your asking price I mean, but the actual original price just seems a bit dear and puts you at a disadvantage now looking to move it on. It is very nice looking though so hopefully that will swing it for you.

Deep Thought

mmmm..

but when you consider My Laco is €498 new ? and at my price 0f 400, its €48 more than the Casablanca, but a boardies deal could knock a few more quid off..

With the recent Speedy arrival I've decided to move my Seamaster on and start the saving towards the next grail. Sad to see this one go as it was my first Omega and won't be my last. I watched Spectre last night which didn't help.

Omega Seamaster 300M 2264.50 quartz.
Details in adverts ad. Obviously a deal to be had for any regular boardsie's

That Seamaster is a wonderful watch, sparrowcar. Love it!

Agreed, and more than a fair price too, I don't blame you on the offers, I wouldn't be considering anything in 3 figures either

Any love on this thread for Glycine Combat subs or Oris Aquis' if I try to flip mine if I dont like when I get them. worried ill find the Glycine too thin and the Oris too young looking (even though im only 30)

Give me a ball park figure you would pay for an Glycine Goldeneye or Oris Aquis with orange strap grey dial, both will be pristine condition (I hope).

Nice to see a smaller brand getting some attention in Ireland (or maybe boards.ie watch enthusiasts are a lot more in the know than your average punter), nice watch, great price, I've missed out

I've ordered myself a Glycine combat sub, cant post pics as boards.ie wont let noobs do so, any idea how I can get this restriction removed?

Love the look of the Glycine subs, in particular the goldeneye one. Unfortunately not buying at the moment!
