Raymond Weil - Nabucco Cuore Vivo Special Edition

I just came across this and love the look of it.

I must say I find most of the other Nabuccos a litte bit busy but just love the look of this one:

Looks great in the video..

I called Brertons yesterday and it went out of stock in 2012, I think I read that there were only 400 and it was priced at about €5k.

A serious contender for a few Bretilings I have been considering for the past few months.

What do people think?



P.S. And for crying out loud. How do I embed that Youtube video?

Nice enough.

Big issue being the resale value of you decide to flip it sometime.

Really, is resale on RW really that bad? To be honest if I bought that I couldn't see myself flipping it.

Actually, what you've just said is extremely positive considering these are discontinued..

Where would be the best place to find one pre-owned?

Yep preowned would be the way I'd be going alright. Most watches will depreciate, but some makers can really fall like lead balloons. Raymond Weil wouldn't be that bad, but would drop a fair amount.

There are a fair few on the Bay, though I didn't spot that exact model. That's where I'd be keeping an eye out. Stick with sales in the EU so customs don't hammer you, look for auctions and look for private sellers(with good feedback) as dealers usually have over inflated notions on price.

New at 4500. (For clarity I am not familiar with the stellar, do your research always)..


If you plan on keeping forever then you don't have to worry about depreciation. Second hand market is poor (for the seller) in Ireland unless you are comfortable selling on eBay or tz etc.

@893bet, whats the TZ site? For the life of me I can't remember it.. Is that the one you need to be a member for a while before you can access the for sale section?
