    Thanks for the purshase unkel an absolute gentleman hope the new purchase serves you well and I'm delighted you are not watchless anymore :)

    oxocube another gent fast easy transaction, hope you like the gmt. The lads on this form are so easy deal with


    Just a note re adverts, it's full of time wasters. I've only ever bought stuff from it and didn't really realise the amount of gob****es on it. Luckily for me my brother is dealing with the selling for me. The real reason tbh is when my collection is sold I will go for an omega PO or IWC or similar and I couldn't part with that much cash if I had in my hand.... So he will do it for me lol

    Hamilton pilot no longer on hold neither is the steinhart ocean 1

    Will if course do a deal for members here on the remainder of the collection

    Ah now lads, you're being very harsh here. He has very good feed back on adverts.ie. I'd say he's no time waster and he's seriously interested in buying the watch. Probably just a young lad living at home who doesn't have a car. No harm in him asking if someone could deliver.

    I'd have to agree here. The €350 offer is a good solid offer. I think your asking is a bit eager considering how close to retail it is. I'm not having a go at all, I took advice on here recently selling a Steinhart also. GLWS whatever you decide.

    On a side note, why are stienharts so heavily traded. I had one and sold it but would be interested to ask why others sell on theirs?

    I sold mine to raise funds. To be honest and this sounds super snobbish but they are watches made from top movements, saphire crystal etc and based on classic designs from other makes. I've no issue with that but I prefer for instance my Seiko diver. I just like the heritage that makes who are around longer have...

    For me they were too big in general and there is a gap in the bracelet that is horrible as it meets the case. Could not look past it.

    I would try a 39mm Ocean but my tastes have changed from divers entirely.

    They trade really well. You can own for a while and flip it on without much loss in outlay. Loads of options in their line up too. I've owned 2 and wouldn't count out a 3rd at some stage.

    Always liked them, almost bought one new about 7-8 years ago but it was actually outside my very limited budget at the time!

    Then I came across a second hand Ocean One 41mm green for very little money. The watch is an homage to the Rolex "hulk" which was a very popular grail watch for a lot of people at the time. I never had a green watch, so I bought it. Loved the watch but it did not get much wrist time, no surprise as my daily watch was a Seamaster. I managed to somehow put a significant scratch on the bezel, but I still sold it for a little bit more than I paid for it.

    The most tradeable of watches. Keeping their values well too. An itch that costs nothing to scratch :D

    I think €50 off the price of a new one is a good price. I wore it maybe twice. I certainly didnt knock €100 of the value of it. Someone is viewing it Monday for almost my asking price so I'm happy.

    A certain famous watch scammer, friend of this forum and many others, internet youtube star, and island castaway now lives in Carrick an Shannon and would have been born in or around 1976, his old adverts name Vostock Ireland stopped posting around the same time that user registered for adverts.

    Nothing concrete, but a few coincidences. It doesnt look like his arm mind you, but I would be suspicious. He will read this so throw in an offer and see how he reacts. If it is who I suspect he will threaten me with violence in a few days or so on one of my ads the gob****e.

    Thought it was him alright that's why i posted. Everyone has a first ad on adverts at some stage but once i seen carrick76 i was wary.

    Thanks, think i'll leave it. I'd be paranoid it was a fake or something if it was him.

    Only seen this now. Just letting you know it's legit. I've had the same user name on boards for years. Had posted the sale in this thread on post 1837.
    I'm based in Galway. Bought a few years ago. Just don't wear the watch and this is my first time selling on adverts. Looks like I underpriced it :o.

    If you want to PM I can give you more details to show its legitimate and I'm not the guy you have in mind.

    If the above is verifiable as it appears to be then that's a little lesson to us all. If we make assumptions we better be right in future.

    Ok....so no threats of violence, no angry ranting, no lies about being a millionaire no use of any of the code words...alpha male, lemonade money, piece, Victor steinhart, excrement, fliplock, no date sub, luminova or the others. I am inclined to believe you.

    It's a beauty and GLWS.
    Your Hamilton, is the one that caught my eye tho!

    I'd only end up calling it my Jizzmeister :pac:

    I've lumped all my money at the Laco and even if the bid isn't accepted I think we'd be too far apart in what the Hamilton is worth and what I can afford :(
