You're happy to get €210, the new buyer will get a lot of value at €210, so both should be happy

Nice dressy watch for Christmas day too

I'd hardly get 210 for this at this stage? Is it a 065?

If I didn't have this exact one already I would be all over this.

Good luck with the sale.

That was exceptionally quick and seems like a good price.

I noticed the case back sticker was still on it.Whats the consensus here on this? I don’t know how people can leave them on , removing it is part of the joy for me when I get a new watch .

Now that I've set my mind on buying some sort of Sea-Dweller, I'm putting up my excellent OceanX James Cameron homage for sale:

That's a couple of times you've moved from the homage to the real deal. Does the homage let you try the look and feel and the confidence that you'll be happy with the original? Like a beta test.

I know you had the Tissel ex, then went to the rolex explorer 2 for a while.

unkel

Kind of.

Had a cheap Chinese (Parnis) batman homage, decided I didn't like it (although tried on the real batman this morning and it did feel quite different )

Had the Tisell Explorer 1 214270 39mm homage and did buy the real thing

Have the OceanX Sharkmaster James Cameron homage and the real thing is currently my grail watch. But I'll likely settle for the identical but all black Deepsea (which is several thousand euro cheaper)

njburke

Yeah, that Tissel explorer got me tyre kicking 214270s in Munich. There wasn't a spark when I when I wore the Rolex. Oddly there was when I first put on the Tissel, Wow, how does he do it for Seiko 5 money.
That's a hump I'm going have to get over if I ever want to get a no date sub. Gotta have a grail.

Seiko Alpinist SARB017

Had been lusting over this for quite some time, got it and it's glorious, but at 39mm a bit small for my big wrists, so letting it go again - catch and release.

nnn

Wow! Watch inflation, must be the Oisín effect.

Think I'll hang on to mine till it gets to €1,000

unkel

Be another 5-10 years but no doubt that will happen. Happy waiting

Not at the rate it's going, just need a couple of more YouTubers to get onboard.:D

Putting the Christmas pressie up for sale on Christmas day afternoon. Man, that's cold.

It turned out to be just a minor present. Did you see the main Christmas pressie I got?

Just now! That's some high level gifting! Should be a keeper til at least new year's eve!

unkel

This is a keeper! Unless I'll hit financial difficulties I doubt I will ever sell it. This watch is very much "me"

banie01

I'm surprised this is still not sold TBH?
Plenty of watchers, but no real interest as yet.

https://www.adverts.ie/21377603

Must be me, but the recent PADI Arnie on offer from Germany might have hit pricing?
Will drop the asking to €325 on adverts, and €275 here

With the surprise Xmas present I really can't see it getting more wrist time from me.
So there's a bargain to be had for someone

unkel

No interest in my OceanX Sharkmaster? On other watch forums, these are snapped up within minutes when they come up for sale. You'll never get as good a diver's watch for so little money

It's a lovely watch but probably priced a bit too high in my opinion considering it's available for €415 delivered and new.

Nope. That's where you're wrong. The watch is actually only €399 with free worldwide shipping brand new, but it is almost always out of stock with very limited production runs. Have a look for yourself on seriouswatches.com

If you have a look at the main UK watch forum (TZ), you will find that they sell for pretty much full new price when second hand. And they sell within minutes. Also do a search on eBay and you'll find the same

Trust me, I paid the full whack for it myself too, and it was second hand. And I had been looking for one for months. And I don't exactly have a reputation for overpaying for stuff :pac:

Why does HELIUM ESCAPE VALVE need to be shouted on the dial?

Ask Rolex

Well the original says "ORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE". BTW I bought mine (the Rolex) from a professional saturation diver. He told me that without it, any watch he'd wear deep under water would go pop. I think Rolex invented this feature.

Because Rolex thought it should be shouted on the dial.

I will admit, if it wasn't a 44mm beast of a watch I'd be tempted.
