Hi all,

I'm thinking of selling my 2011 Omega Speedmaster pro (ref:3570.50) Full set.
I've longed for a Rolex Explorer 214270 for a few years now and with the updated version only in 36mm I wanted to try and land one over the next few months. I find with these things you need to be ready to strike, especially on TZ so with that in mind I'm going to bank the Speedy funds with my savings so I'm ready to go.

This was my pride an joy so in excellent condition and sale approved by the wife . The winder is a bit tight (as per most manual speedies but otherwise all ok. I'm testing the water with this to gauge interest. Hard to judge with recent increases what way to price it, it seems my version has become more popular with the recent updates from Omega. I'm thinking list price around the €3500 mark going by TZUK and Micks-address sale a few months back. Obviously a discount on that for forum members.

Comes on the bracelet and a selection of straps. Will update pics later this evening.

Definitely should get 3500. Stick it up on adverts?

Has it be serviced?

Is Darragh O'Meara still after a speedie or did he get sorted?
Yours might be right up his street if not SC?

Serviced when I bought it in 2015, not since then.

I'm selling a pagani design PD1639 I recently picked up from here and bought through Adverts a few weeks ago.
Watch is perfect and I and only reason I'm selling is as I'd prefer something smaller.
I'll be putting it up on Adverts later but first refusal here to anyone interested.

Hi all, I'm just after putting this up on Adverts if anyone is interested

Well boys its a catch and Release for me. Have some dealer offers and consignment offers but for a smooth sale on here would be better. Some adverts tax applied, I bought this well and will release it for what I am into it for. I know its expensive but this actually represent a big bargain.

He may be looking to buy the Vostok factory. Very nice watch, fair price with it and you know it's been well cosseted.

Lovely watch the ALS. I fell foul of buying watches in the past that other people liked so I felt I should buy one to. Case in point was my aqua terra. Saw one on here loved it, loved the bond association (others might cringe) as Skyfall is my favourite bond movie. Liked the watch when it bought it but I found myself thinking it was a little smaller than I liked. The speedmaster seems to be the sweet spot for my wrist size. Others will have different likes and of course some purchases are investments. I guess it just depends on what your motivations are when buying. Everyone is different.

Fitz II

I do really like the ALS, Its beautifully made, stunning to look at, good value, a good size and everyone I have show it too thinks it my nicest watch....but the true love is not there for me. You cant predict the fizz.

If you’ll take an explorer as a trade in for roughly 11k I might be interested.

Anyone interested in my modified Seiko monster? I've had it a few years and it doesn't get enough wrist time.

I'm looking for €400 but would consider trades

Just wondering if anyone has a regular blue Seiko Turtle (SRP773) that they're considering parting with?

Just out of idle curiosity, is it considered bad form to take such a watch & fire a quartz movement into it so that you end up with an old looking watch that has some character to it on your wrist but actually tells the time?

Occasionally these thoughts stroll around in my head as I look at ads on various internet platforms listed as for parts/salvage.

That certainly is a trend at the moment, and would not be hard to do, as far as I can tell.

I'm hoping this is the right place to post. I've been considering buying a Milgauss for a while now and am going to go ahead. Only ever bought watches and have never sold and am wondering where is the best place to post to try and sell one or two. Anything I've bought has been on Chrono 24 or Breitlingsource. Is this the best place or is Adverts a much better option ? I'm probably going to offload these two to fund part of the purchase ?

As an aside from looking on Chrono a full set Milgauss 2nd hand appears to be north of €8k while the Keane's web-site has a new one for €8k. I've no idea if they can actually get their hands on one to sell so have sent them a message. Are the scarce at the moment does anyone know ?

Adverts is good because it's free, and you may not have to worry about having to get the watch shipped. But it's also full of time wasters and dreamers, and it's serving a smaller market. Chrono24 say that the watch can only be sold through them, and I am not sure what happens if you do sell it elsewhere and need to withdraw the ad from their site. Might be no harm starting with adverts though - see how you get on, and then list on a specialist site later.

As far as I can see thats the RRP in Keans, if you ring and ask for one they wont have one for you. Thats why they sell over list. Expect to wait a good while for one unless you have a spending history with them.

I recommend adverts for sale. There are some hassles with it, and people get butt hurt if you dont accept their offers, or vanish off the face of the earth after making offers, but generally I have found you can get stuff to shift pretty quick if you price well and know how a negotiation works.
