Hi folks,

I'm going to list my speedmaster professional on adverts in the next week or so. I love the watch but want to free up some funds for a different purchase.

GLWS Mick, is that the Rolex train I hear....chooo choooo

most seem to be listing at 3500... if you can pick one up around 3k i think you'll easily move it on again without loosing anything on it. I've put my Seamaster Quartz Goldeneye on adverts. Bit of a clear out. Kinda harder watch to replace so will be holding price fairly firm on it. Not to worried if it doesn't sell.

New/ Nearly New ones go up at 3300-3800 but your was 30 years old, I am not that up on speedmasters was there anything about your and its vintage that was more desirable?, I know speedmaster collectors are very particular about little details? Good sale in my book....Choo Choo the rolex train is arriving at the station.

It was a transitional model with tritium lume. Nothing over the top. I think it was in general great condition with new crystal and included Nato so probably priced about right.

New ones come with all that, and warranty, and big stupid boxes with loupes and medals:D I think you did very very well TBH. Sure brand new ones were going for 3300 sterling this week with black friday from a UK dealer. Next time I am selling I might ask you to do it for me on comission

First post is a sales post. Typical of people to register just to sell.

(Joking obviously! 7 years in silence!!!)

Stick it on adverts.ie and we can find the images from there is an option.

Johnryan the BB58 really doesnt sell over list. There is a wait for one in the AD, but not a long one and there are tons out there. 3470 is list so you need to be at the 3k mark for a private sale, list on adverts at 3100 or 3200 and first person offers you 3 bite their hands off for it. Last time I was in Paul Sheeran's I was offered one with a 4 week wait.

Dealers often put watches up on chrono at outrageous prices to boost the average asking price. €3451 is average current asking price, minus chrono 8% is around €3200 and more than half those have dealer markups. Still not many watches you can buy new, wear and sell on for 90% of what you paid. Thats a win in my book.

BTW I have one great watch, and super nice in the black with the red pip.

On the forum here you get good buyers, but dey needs da bargains.

Many thanks @Fitz II --- I think those points are all fair. It is still difficult enough to get hands on (on steel bracelet) but perhaps not so difficult as a year ago. Mine is also the black with red pip. It is the perfect watch, perfect size :-)) if I didn't have an Explorer it would never leave my wrist! Attempting to put an image here:

This is the watch. For sale. 2019, I am the only owner. Box and papers.

Nice I will copy your photo. For reference I have the blue one I got new, unworn in stickers on a bracelet, on a forum got 2750 sterling, around 3100 euro and I felt I overpaid a tiny bit. The black may be the nicer watch, and they are hard to get but not Rolex hard.

Explorer is a super watch, looking at the quality of your photos would be nice once you can post linkes to put up a few pics on the forum and show us what you have. Welcome to the watch form the nicest place on boards.ie
