    I paid 3000 dollars and picked up while in the US last year. I think it worked out about 2500 or 2600 euro. Was hard to source alright.

    Ah yes forgot it was US.

    No box or papers? You got it serviced since?

    I think I will regret selling.....but sher you only know that after the fact.

    Watch box has gotten very empty lately.

    Below all gone last 12 months
    BLNR
    Tag Monaco
    Speedmaster
    Nomos
    Stowa marine
    AT on hold
    PO for sale.

    Box will be sparse!

    I'd be very interested if that sale falls through. I'm abroad and covid makes weekend trips home much rarer than usual though. Could pay a deposit if you don't sell elsewhere

    It's actually back with Omega for service..I know it will be expensive but I want to hold it and have warranty cards.. no cards with mine just a box.. it probably didn't need a service but it be fine for a few years once back.. five plus at least..service via john brerton... I think im content with my lot at the moment... Aqua Terra, speedmaster and seamaster 300m..the Stowa marine is essentially new after service.. have an skx007 mod project underway..Casio all metal for beater and lord marvel for something old... I've a Seiko explorer mod that I'll pass on at some point...

    I'm a sucker for a GMT, if there's noone else after it I'd be interested?

    Especially if he fancies a swap for my Arnie ;)
    He does like a Seiko after all :P

    Will be selling the below also if my AT goes through.

    Especially of interest to Mick and the new buyer.

    Nato as below. My eyes ain’t good enough to see the part number and can’t find my loupe. Original omega obviously. Think these are around 150 new from omega. 20mm and will look the bus on any blue omega.

    Will take 85 delivered.

    And deployant and dark blue strap below. Part numbers can be seen. Strap is 19mm so will suit any 20mm lug omega. Again original omega parts.

    Will take 210 euro delivered.

    It’s not that much of a pain cost you 100 tops with a courier get a 3rd party insurance co like infosure


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 10,582 ✭✭✭✭893bet


    Will a courier take if you declare it as a watch? Always reluctant to ship abroad also.

    Stowa used FedEx to ship my watch back and forth. Dhl delivered my seamaster from Hungary. They must have options.. seamaster was private seller

    Yes I’ve send a few via tnt and insured separately

    Cool.

    Any courier will take anything really. Thing is are you covered. Even if insured separate. Let’s say watches were on list of prohibited items and you sent it but didn’t declare it. Is there a clause in the separate policy that will screw your as the courier you used had it down as not something they carry.

    Business accounts are no problem. Private sellers a lot more tricky.

    Hi I usually declare it as horological goods . It’s work to ship it but insurance is another 70 quid

    Many other forums have a thread, like this one, for members to sell or swap items to each other. Most of these thread titles include the word "wanted". Wibbs maybe add it here too?

    Anyway wanted a Rolex Yacht master 40 in blue, reference 116622. If anyone has one for sale or knows of one for sale or even just owns one that I could try on for a minute (willing to travel nationwide), please let me know!

    I would prefer a watch in very good condition and a complete set with box and papers, but I would consider any condition. Try me.

      PO still available at bargain price. Likely to disappear to a dealer and have at least 700 added on price wise.

      Selling two pieces, Orient Bambino and Seiko SRP775 with ceramic/sapphire mods.

      Very reluctant sale on the turtle so priced very high on Adverts. Obviously a hefty discount to keep it in the family here (with the provision the new owner gives me a first refusal buy back clause if flipped) :P

      The seiko diver photos while very stylish look a bit dark? Hard to see the watch properly.

      The text is surprisingly dark much darker than stock imagery, like a deep ocre. The bezel text being much more yellow. Here's a pic in the wild before any mods, pretty much direct sun. That nato can be thrown.
