Child Item

Selling, Swapping or Wanted Watches & Timepieces *Please read rules in 1st post**

Wibbs

OK folks the word has come down. We can now sell directly to each other in the community. This is the preliminary charter. If anyone has edits/additions/suggestions to this we'd welcome them by PM. No cluttering of the thread, I'm cluttering it enough.

New thread rules.

This thread is for the purpose of selling or swapping/trading timepieces and related items(straps/winders/etc).

There are now two options for the community;

1) As before: A link to an advert on Adverts.ie, with all transactions and discussions to be carried out on Adverts.ie under their rules and regulations. As before you can provide photos and details of the item to help with the sale, but not trading here.

2) New option: Adverts for sale or trading of timepieces and related items within the Watches & Timepieces community, but no Duplication of ads. If the item is for sale on Adverts/eBay/etc then any trading must be done away from this forum.

Rules for these in forum adverts are;

All discussions to remain on thread. No off thread dealing. This will result in a ban. Whoever offers the Asking price first gets first refusal. The Asking price is the last price that the Seller has posted for the item. After the Asking price is met, no user may offer more in an attempt to outbid the first offer. After the asking price has been accepted at this point PM exchange is OK to finalize the details.

Please update when sold and give feedback on the deal.

NO seeking of valuations or "testing the water". If the watch is listed here it will be deemed to be for sale or trade.

NO auctions.

NO bumping please.

NO including of email or phone details in ads. Not a good plan anyway folks, but can also be seen as inviting off thread dealing.

NO fake watches or links to fake watches. Instant ban.

NO dealers. If you want to sell watches in this manner please use other avenues like Adverts.ie. If someone is suspected of commercial dealing a permanent ban will follow.

As elsewhere NO quoting photos as this can be a right pain to navigate especially on phones/pads.

While someone's posting history and post count won't be a rigid rule, this free service is first and foremost open to and for this community and moderator discretion will be in play and final.

Boards.ie accepts no responsibility for any issues arising from adverts in this forum.

Thanks to all and good luck with the selling and buying.

I put my Citizen Nighthawk on Adverts a few months ago, and ended up not selling it. I've added it again with the hope of shifting it this time in case anyone here is interested. I haven't really worn it since getting my Steinhart Ocean One.

https://www.adverts.ie/casual/citizen-nighthawk-eco-drive-gmt-solar-watch/17978904

Still looking to move this on if anyone is interested. Would go to 150 for a boardsie.

Seiko PADI Turtle is still for sale, which really surprises me

So are the Borealis rubber straps. They really are good value. I'm wearing the original, an Isofrane, right now (retails at $180 and no discounts to be found anywhere) and while it is better, there isn't all that much in it either...

Unlikely to have any luck on adverts but you never know, i have a datejust incoming and i cant keep both so the cartier isnt hanging around...

Price is 5k, added 10% to adverts to allow for haggling

Can voucher for this - their version 1 was terrible (a bit of an exaggeration - it's was meh) - but their version 2 is supple and wear great, I've never had an isofrane so can't compare but can't see how the quality could be much more improved over the Borealis straps (genuine rubber though probably not natural).

You never know - I actually sold my Pelagos on adverts having tried facebook, watchuseek, and reddit. Reddit came close though with 2-3 buyers pulling out for various reasons.

Deal for a boardsie to be had here, open to sensible offers.

Hi,

Would anyone here have sold a watch on Chrono24 before? I've made a sale and the buyer's money is in escrow account. They're in Switzerland (non-EU), but I can't figure out if An Post will take it or not (An Post website says 'jewelry' won't be insured if sent by registered post. Jewelry is, in turn, defined as including watches that are "entirely or mainly composed of gold, silver or platinum or other precious metal".

It certainly isn't made up of any of these - it's 'only' a Tag Heuer Monza...

If you post a watch with an post outside of Ireland its not insured, best bet is to drive to the north if you can and use Royal Mail depending on the value

I tried dhl and they told me to go pound sand basically, they said they only do that for companies and not private customers

Royal Mail is superb for sending within the UK, but I think the price goes up a lot to the EU.

Captainsatnav - check this thread for more info, but the tl;dr from my experience is to either drive up to Norn Iron, or pay through the nose using Mail Boxes etc in Dublin city centre. I could not find a courier who would take a watch, fully insured.

Thanks very much. I really appreciate that link. Looks like I've no option really than just take the risk on An Post registered post and say a prayer.

Depending on the value that’s quite a gamble, it’s the main reason I stopped selling on chrono24

When I bought my BLNR from an official dealer they sent it registered post.

Sure if none of the operators will insure the package what can be done? It seems it's impossible to send watches from this country if you want to insure them...

I just banged it in the DHL delivery at work.:eek:

Got my Merkur today (Seiko Tuna homage)

Lovely watch, but I ordered it in blue and they sent me a black one. They suggested I send it back for a full refund, but that's a pain in the neck

Looks a lot more expensive than what they are. Gets great reviews, google it. Paid USD199 for it (EUR 185) - didn't get hit for customs on this one. If anyone wants to match that or come very close, they are welcome to the watch

Hi guys, it was me who bought this Merkur off Unkel 5 months ago. I purchased two Barton straps for this watch, one white leather & one a green Nato strap. They look really good on it.
It's a lovely watch but I just haven't been getting use of it. I wear Gshocks as a daily watch and I rarely get the occasion to wear the Merkur.
Therefore I have decided to list it on Adverts tomorrow.
Just giving the heads up to boardsies for first shout in case anyones interested. Im looking for €150 and that includes the two extra Barton straps.

unkel

Must resist the temptation to buy it back

If only it was blue!
