Anyone for my Seiko Sea Urchin (brand new, unworn)? Would make a lovely Christmas present.

Clearing out the secondary watchbox....free Timex for anyone that wants it, automatic is running. PM me if you want it, 20 euros to charity.

Fitz II · 06-12-2020 3:00pm

Nice watchbox 8 watches. Small chip from coming in and out of the safe. These are over 100 on amazon. 40 euro collected. PM me.

unkel · 06-12-2020 3:08pm

That's a lovely box for the money! If I hadn't one already I'd jump at that.

Hey all, looking for opinions on either of the below as regards pricing or questions to ask prior to purchasing. I've bought on Chrono before but much newer watches...

With that username you should be giving out advice on buying and selling.

@rodneytrotter15 I've not had an Omega with a 7750-based movement but I do have a 7750 watch.

They are very robust and with it being an Omega customised version, it will likely be a very good execution of the breed. It is an auto whihc is an advantage fo many Speedies, but is still likely to suffer from the elements of 'character' of the 7750 family: the minute hand can be a bit wayward while trying to set the time accurately, the rotor can sometimes feel like it is possessed and will spin out of the movement and the button feel for the chrono function can be a bit agricultural.

But with that all said, if you like the 7750, then a Speedmaster interpretation of it is a very nice thing.

Just a word of warning though, get extensive movement pictures. I purchased on Chrono24 recently, from a verified dealer of long standing and their claim of a recent service has since been comprehensively shown to be at odds with the evidence.

Thanks for the help. I pulled this trigger on the first one this morning and thanks again.

Nobody wants a free watch?

VW 1 · 09-12-2020 8:14pm

Not quite my taste, but you might get a better response on the free/give away watch thread?

Sorry, should've been the bargains thread. - Mis post.

Shamrock92 · 11-12-2020 11:36am

Hi guys,

The previous Seikos are gone, so up next is my beloved Universal Geneve Polerouter. It's approx 1960s, running well and recently serviced. Featuring a microrotor, a very useful date and a beautiful champagne dial. Currently on a Hirsch strap. If anyone is interested, or would like further pics, happy to have a chat

Priced at €690

Lustrum · 11-12-2020 7:36pm

Hi folks,

I recently bought a watch from watchshop.co.uk, and they've given me a 20 gbp off voucher if you spend over 100. It expires in 6 days, and I'm not going to use it so if anyone would like it feel free to PM me, cheers

Pablo_Flox · 15-12-2020 4:01pm

I have a couple of new watches coming in the next few weeks and looking to make a bit of space in my watch box.

If you are interested in either of these let me know.

Tisell 9015 Explorer

Casio Edifice ECB-10DC-1AEF

(worn literally 4-5 times)

Asking for €175 each.

I like both these watches so if there isn't much interest I will probably just start a second box! A dangerous decision.

unkel · 15-12-2020 4:27pm

As the original owner of the Tisell, I can honestly say it's a very well made watch for the money. Best of luck with the sale - or keep it

Anyone any interest in my brand new (unworn) Seiko automatic pepsi diver? Would make a lovely Christmas present for someone

Hi all ,
Anyone interested in my omega railmaster which is up on adverts . Will let it got for 3800 to boards member and you won’t get cheaper than that anywhere

What’s the thickness? Google is not clear and I am seeing a variety of measurements from 11.2 up to 14mm.

I think it’s 12 mm . Wears quite thin . It’s a lot slimmer than say a speedie

Fitz II · 16-12-2020 7:37pm

Watchbox, not a cheapo one, worthy place to put your watches.

Frankie5Angels · 18-12-2020 2:36pm

I'd hardly get 210 for this at this stage? Pic is from original post, watch has been worn three times at most since then. No marks or anything on it. No point me keeping it really when I'm not likely to wear it.

You should easily get 210 imho

When did you buy it and what did you pay?

`

About 2/3 months ago, was a bit dearer than that, but willing to take a hit on it so I can have something else I fancy. Just for clarity, I was offering it to folk here for 210. As before, I don't really want to go near Adverts but I'd throw it on for a bit more there obviously.

unkel · 18-12-2020 3:36pm

You're happy to get €210, the new buyer will get a lot of value at €210, so both should be happy

Nice dressy watch for Christmas day too

No, SRPB41 i think is the model.

If I didn't have this exact one already I would be all over this.

Good luck with the sale.

unkel · 19-12-2020 5:30pm

Have my eye on another Rolex, love the polar Explorer, but I can only own one

Original Irish watch, sold by Weir's of Grafton Street in 1999

Linky to the ad on adverts.ie

That was exceptionally quick and seems like a good price.

I noticed the case back sticker was still on it.Whats the consensus here on this? I don’t know how people can leave them on , removing it is part of the joy for me when I get a new watch .

Now that I've set my mind on buying some sort of Sea-Dweller, I'm putting up my excellent OceanX James Cameron homage for sale:

Linky to adverts

njburke · 20-12-2020 1:54pm

That's a couple of times you've moved from the homage to the real deal. Does the homage let you try the look and feel and the confidence that you'll be happy with the original? Like a beta test.

I know you had the Tissel ex, then went to the rolex explorer 2 for a while.

unkel · 20-12-2020 2:04pm

Kind of.

Had a cheap Chinese (Parnis) batman homage, decided I didn't like it (although tried on the real batman this morning and it did feel quite different

)

Had the Tisell Explorer 1 214270 39mm homage and did buy the real thing

Have the OceanX Sharkmaster James Cameron homage and the real thing is currently my grail watch. But I'll likely settle for the identical but all black Deepsea (which is several thousand euro cheaper)

njburke · 20-12-2020 2:30pm

Yeah, that Tissel explorer got me tyre kicking 214270s in Munich. There wasn't a spark when I when I wore the Rolex. Oddly there was when I first put on the Tissel, Wow, how does he do it for Seiko 5 money.
That's a hump I'm going have to get over if I ever want to get a no date sub. Gotta have a grail.

unkel · 25-12-2020 1:54pm

Seiko Alpinist SARB017

Had been lusting over this for quite some time, got it and it's glorious, but at 39mm a bit small for my big wrists, so letting it go again - catch and release.

Wow! Watch inflation, must be the Oisín effect.

Think I'll hang on to mine till it gets to €1,000
