    I’ve the black version , the 1084 ,not sure what your paying but they are massively discounted from retail - I got mine in weirs for under €4K at Xmas


    Most Panerais have a decent discount from the AD, but from what I gather the blue version is boutique only and no discounts.

    Edit: or so it said in the ad on TZ. A quick google shows that Watches of Mayfair sell this watch ex-UK VAT to an EU customer for just €3917

    https://watchesofmayfair.com/brand/panerai/luminor/panerai-luminor-blu-mare-44-mm-pam01085

    Retail incl VAT is €5400

    I'll try Weir's too. Thanks a million for the heads up. I owe you a pint. Or 8 :D

    I looked at the blue panerai yesterday and thought Unk should buy that and sell that borrow show one he currently has. That blue one is very very nice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,640 ✭✭✭✭unkel


    If I'm honest, the Panerai gets a lot more wrist time than the Rolex. Despite it being black and a chrono (both not my favourite). I really like the style and the fit of the Panerais and messing with the straps. My current favourite strap is one from Portugal, made from Cork. Not joking!

    My Panerai is my most worn watch , I’ve 5 different straps for it and constantly swapping them around .
    I’ve been looking for a submariner at reasonable price and there’s a little voice in my head telling to get the submersible I want instead . It’s a case of I “want” another Panerai but feel I ”should “ buy the Rolex.Kinda the same as I when I bought my moonwatch but I really wanted a Tudor gmt .

    I only have mine a few months and I already have 7 straps for it :D

    The best quality one is a Toshi tan leather. I don't wear any of the 3 straps that came with the watch but I do wear the cork one and I have two more cheap light coloured suede ones I got through Etsy for not much more than a tenner each

    Look away 893bet and Fitz, but if I got a blue Panerai, I surely will find myself a quality stingray strap to put on it too :p

    You could go shark skin strap just like Stallone’s first Panerai

    Usually the number of straps anyone has for a watch is inversely proportional to how long they keep it.

    Unlike Rolex, any straps you buy for a Panerai, can go on another Panerai. I really like these watches a lot, just not a black one and not a chrono. A blue simpler dial one might be a keeper for a very long time, perhaps forever

    But you have to get it posted and roll the dice with customs also.

    But tz purchase is also roll dice unless you travel.

    Hi,
    I am looking to move two watches
    First up is a Damasko DA34

    [IMG][/img]51220977998_7a25552b7c_c.jpg20210602_195257 by G, on Flickr

    This is from 2018 and I am the second owner. I cannot see any marks on it, this is my second Damasko and they do not mark. Crystal is clean with not marks. Strap and pin buckle are Damasko. Strap is leather and lots of life left in it. I have a rubber Damasko with Damasko pin buckle which I will also include.
    I have box and papers (including receipt).

    This has the Damasko hardened case that is proprietary to Damasko. There is some other Damasko tech such as the use of Viton seals in the crown.

    A robust bit of kit in an everyday wearable watch.
    I am looking for €700.

    Next up is a Sinn UX SDR. This is on a Sinn tegimented bracelet and the bezel is also tegimented.

    [IMG][/img]51218376333_d11132bf89_b.jpg20210601_173807 by G, on Flickr

    This was originally from Dec 2011 and was serviced complete with oil change in May 2019 at Sinn. I have the dealer paperwork, service receipt from dealer(only Sinn can service these), manual, 2 full spare links and box.

    Case is clean, crystal is unmarked and bezel in unmarked.

    If you are interested in this watch, you will know all about it, oil filled and a certified quartz chronometer!
    Will also include a Sinn rubber/silicon strap and as Sinn non-tegimented deployment clasp. The strap has been cut and worn but I do not know to what length as I have never mounted it to the watch. I am the second owner
    I am looking for € 1,550 for the Sinn.
    Any questions let me know. Not interested in trades. Other brutal pictures are available.
    I am based on the Northside of Dublin and am only interested in face to face deals.

    Still have these and something has caught my eye.
    If you are interested message me.

    Hello all , selling this if anyone is interested

    Hamilton Pilot Pioneer Watch. Watch is in amazing condition. Premium mahogany leather strap included. Hasn’t received much wrist time since I purchased it during the summer so there are little signs of wear (pretty much no signs of wear). The leather strap was swapped out straight away so it’s perfect condition. Comes with box and papers and still in warranty


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,067 ✭✭✭Lorddrakul


    If anyone is interested in a Russian watch that is a significant step beyond a Vostok, here is a relatively risk free opportunity.

    I'm selling my owned from new Poljot 'Blue Angels' Navitimer 3133.

    Untitled Image


    Just back from Poljot24.de and a full service, and comes with one of their monogrammed bracelet, with spare links. Also, a monogrammed deployant clasp too. Substantial reduction for anyone of this parish.

    If anyone fancies a gander, let me know.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,020 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    Lovely watch LD and GLWS.

    I still have my Tudor Heritage ranger strap up for sale. It's not attracting much interest on WUS so I'll bump it here and as always there is a discount to be had for a local.

    Details here https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/fs-22mm-tudor-fabric-noir-gris-camo-grey-single-pass-strap.5318624/#post-53742313


    I have had a bit of interest here for the HKed Bund, but tbh at a little too low so that's still floating around too if anyone is interested?

    There's a brand new rally strap on the way for it too. Honestly feel that €300 delivered is a fair price and they are changing hands at near retail elsewhere.

    My Panerai Luminor Daylight has gone to Watchfinder. Still have the Squalematic for sale. At not much more than half of the price of the next cheapest one in the world (eBay / chrono24), I am just shocked that it hasn't sold! Plenty of watchers, a few offers of trade ins that weren't for me, but it's still here

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,258 ✭✭✭darragh o meara


    By any chance are you selling a Heritage Ranger to go with the strap?


    Anymore details of the HKed Bund? Is it for sale online somewhere you could send me a link to?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,020 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    Hey Darragh, unfortunately no heritage ranger included (or for sale) I picked up the strap from @johnny1980 here to try with my BlackBay and Pelagos.

    I just tend to prefer both of them on their bracelets (or rubber occasionally for the Pelagos) so other than 1 days wear when I received it, it's just not being used at all so better it goes somewhere it will be.


    The HKED Bund is a very decent homage to the Heuer Bind 155. Ed is a HK based watch seller who I must saw is fantastic to deal with and has some lovely pieces his 1963 chrono and Nemo diver in particular.

    Specs and info are all listed here https://www.hkedwatches.com/collections/bundeswehr-pilot-chronograph-v3/products/bundeswehr-black-dial

    I'm selling the display back model, and included are the original steel case back and a 5 slot heavy canvas HKed branded watch roll.

    If you have any other questions, or if you'd like additional photos or anything more specific? Just let me know.

    Hi all. I'm moving house and during packing I rediscovered the speedie that I bought on Adverts following the tip-off on this thread (https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2057148212/speedmaster-pro-2450-a-good-price) back in 2014. Having not had any business meetings or formal events(or ANY events!) in the past couple of years I haven't worn it much recently and not much prospect of in the near future. I bloody love the watch but I do believe in using nice things rather than keeping them in their boxes so I reckon I'm going to sell it on (I have a Garmin Fenix 5 that I wear daily and love the smartwatch & fitness features on it). I haven't had the Speedie serviced, wore it probably once a week from 2014 to 2020 and not much since.

    Traser P59 Essential S for sale, €115, but could do a better deal for anyone on the forum.

    Hi folks,

    listing my Seiko spb149 for sale. Love the watch but have something similar incoming so no need for both. Limited edition set with seiko rubber straps and seiko bracelet included. Complete set as per pics. Excellent condition. Will throw in the erikas strap to sweeten the deal. This is around 1450 but completely sold out. I’m pricing it at 1050 for now.


    blue Uncle Seiko rubber strap thrown in too.

    Following on from my earlier spitball post re: selling my HKed Bund.

    I've put it up on r/watchexchange with an asking of €425 but the usual applies here.

    €300 will take it for a parishioner 😉

    A bit of research is showing the price on these staying quite firm, so a bargain is to be had IMO, but that's what I would say anyway 😝
