Take off the stickers and wear it!

What else is in the collection?

Tbh I only put it up to test the waters if there is interest in it, I payed very near to 12k for it myself in December so I am not out to try do a flipping for profit over RRP. I do like it and really I am not pushed to sell it either.

Yes I used to be big into cars, I had a Mitsubishi EVO 5 for nearly 10 years, rebuilt and pushing over 400hp

Hey man good to come on and defend the price. I understand where you are coming from. 12k is not absurd for a hulk in that condition. I assume you have it on chromo 24 too. Adverts is a limited market, and even though I have 100 transactions on adverts I would balk at that sort of a buy on the platform. Good luck with the sale, thats a nice piece.

BTW Phase change coolers, PC tech, expensive watches....if your into cars we should marry

I hear a 3rd line assembly line is coming to Rolex

He is banned from this forum. Probably still reads the comments here. Steer clear!

have a nice day

you are correct, we all know how adverts works with low ballers, you are around long enough to know this, this is why I put a guide asking price for 14,450 to deter the low-ballers, realistically I would be looking for around the 12 mark which is a average price considering the market for one in my condition.

God loves a trier by 14k is miles out, knowing adverts mind you somebody will offer 5k and a chipvan and then you finally meet somewhere in the middle at around the right price.

Ambitious!

wildly, you would probably pay WF £11k for a stickered new one and that would be top of the market.

What happened with Vostok on your listing

Nothing. I assume he saw my thread on here “McManus is back” then started that!

Strange chap.

Took some pics in Westfield shopping centre recently so no shortage or waiting list, it’s a tiny ad with very little selection.
Vostok hasn’t a hope of selling that for profit

Have you seen a single desirable Rolex at list while there?

Lol!

Hi there!!!!!

He is gone back cap in hand....but not on his own add.

What a strange man. And no, the pictures are not good.

The chap that asked has 100+ positive feedbacks! The kinda person you want to deal with!

They he posts a wrist no hassle when asked.

Aside from attitude he has zero chance of selling on adverts at that’s price. Overpriced for a readily available watch and far to small a target market in Ireland.

Eoin

Have you any better pictures with better light please.

No. The pictures are good enough.

What a strange man. And no, the pictures are not good.

Big step up from a vostok haha

:pac:

The new comments on the add are good! He is quiet the salesman.

FingerDeKat

always wondered why he got banned

If you search the McManus watch threads you will find out that there is more than a little something wrong with that guy, I wouldnt touch the watch with my bare hands yet alone buy it.

Vostok or as he’s also known the guvnor is back

As for the wait list he’s talking ****e because I was in Westfield shopping centre London last week and they have one in the window and when I enquirer the woman said they had five in stock

Reason for selling: profit

Did I just read that?

Yeah two tones are not hard to get.nice watch mind you.

Can’t read prices. Is that hulk 9.4k?

yep £9.450 sterling and im betting its used :P

Can’t read prices. Is that hulk 9.4k?

5 year old blnr on watchfinder is 10.5k euro.

New 1-2 years old 11.1k-11.4k euro

Keep on jumping. Still tempted by the blnr on adverts just to sit on it for 12 months and see where it goes but not worth the hassle.

Edit 5167....24k Euro on wf now.

You'd get at least 70% of your money back on a explorer 1 if you ever wanted to sell it I'd imagine? Better to enjoy a nice watch then having the money sitting on a bank?

But I wouldn't be buying with the intention of making money or "investing" I'd want to wear it and enjoy it not have it sitting in a safe.

Point is non are going for the 3-5k premium the investors would have you believe. Yeah its cool you can wear a watch for a couple of years and still get out what you have in or near enough, but the fact that they are readily available out there at reasonable prices doesn't gel with the massive waiting lists and limited numbers the AD's tell you about, nor the massive investment potential purported. Something is fishy IMHO.

The notion of "investing" needs to be eradicated from watch forums. Imagine a fund where a minority of investors were delighted with a percentage return of their initial sum after a few years.

The BLNR is an interesting one. It was amongst the most popular models (still is) until a few months ago, with matching resale values. And then, around six months ago, the price started softening.

Now at the same time stories of BLNR availability started becoming more frequent. There seemed to be a number of posters on TRF just magically finding them in ADs. This is all anecdotal, but it does look that Rolex just started increasing the flow. And you have to imagine that these watches were all manufactured within a certain window and that Rolex are clearing inventory for storage and to manipulate the market for the BLRO. It really is just mania.

There's another thread on TRF in the last few days relating to the Milgauss GV. That they were going for over twice the RRP when released. There was the expectation that it'd be a limited edition and "investors" piled in. Now they keep lonely Airkings company in AD windows.
