Selling, Swapping or Wanted Watches & Timepieces *Please read rules in 1st post**

Hi folks,

listed my just serviced speedmaster for sale

on adverts

cheers,

mick

My old AT. I almost bought it back when C was selling but I had got rid of all the NATO’, leather and rubber for the watch at that point.

Thanks I’ll see how I go with the sales. I’m not sold on anything yet. The two omega and seiko compliment each other pretty well to

You are suggesting looking at the 39mm op?

Yeah. I think most have more character than a sterile explorer. And cheaper than Subs and most datejust. 114300 easily available at 6.5k con c24 from dealers. Which means 6k might be possible.

Gonna get a bit more expensive for the new 41mm ones. Not a huge fan of the double indices on the new ones. Looks cheap IMO.

In either case it’s only a stepping stone and if you buy anyway right you can sell again at little to no loss in the short terms and turn a few quid if you hold it.

Totally agree, but the 41mm are very desirable and go for way above retail. Would love to try on the turquoise myself, but would probably like most of them. Green and navy should be very good too, a bit more conservative.

I need to liquidate my Breitling Aerospace Titanium, if anyone is interested.

Full set, outer box, inner box, hang tag and all papers, for a 2006 F75362 Aerospace Titantium two tone (gold accents). On a bullet style bracelet (one spare link) with comfort clasp, but also comes with branded Breitling black leather strap and monogrammed buckle.

€1600 to the great unwashed, €1400 to anyone of this parish. Collection in Dublin 15.

Will do up a proper ad but if anyone is interested, let me know.

Leaning towards a datejust 41mm blue dial on jubilee. Bit away yet from one. I emailed keanes the other day and they said 6 to 12 months wait for one

Blue dial models seem to be very hard to get .

I emailed Weirs and Keanes for navy dial 41 OP. Weirs haven’t answered and Keanes said “We are currently prioritising, in the first instance, those who are currently or intend to become regular clients of Keane's.”

I take that to mean how much will you spend first or a No.Either way my name didn’t get onto the “expressions of interest list “

That’s from a private seller -

Is it safe buying from private sellers on chrono? I always assume with a dealer there’s a better chance of the deal going through without issues and normally exclude private sellers from my search

Full ad for the 2006 40mm Breitling Aerospace Titanium now online, if anyone is interested. As mentioned, substantial discount for anyone of this parish.

Don't really want to sell this, as it was always an aspiration piece for me. However, needs must when the devil rides.

No, the whole process is managed by the system.

You advertise, the buyer contacts you. They make a bid, you can bargain and accept a bid you are happy with. Through the system, you make a binding offer with shipping. You get a notification to say funds received and in escrow.

You send the piece, and provide tracking details through the system. Buyer receives and confirms. They confirm they are happy and funds are transfered via SEPA.

I've sold two watches this way and had absolutely no hassle whatsoever. Now, one was €400 odd and the other €1200, but still good trial runs for anything of serious value.

Doing a clearout as I'm moving into the mancave.

Also found a Seiko box with booklet and bracelet. I can't for the life of me remember what that was from. It could be genuine or it could have come with a fake that someone sold me. No idea. Anyway free to a good home if you can collect from me in Lucan. If anyone can see from the pictures that this is a fake, I will gladly just bin it

That's an excellent offer fair play!

Private buyer banie. They don’t seem to offer the buy service in Ireland from chrono24 themselves

The service on any watch is a cost of ownership Mick. It adds zero actual value other than reassuring the next buyer the watch was appropriately cared for IMHO.

I can buy a pagani for 150, pay 200 to have it serviced. Am I then the owner of a 350 watch? Is there any actual value added? I'd say no.

Similar with a car, is a recently serviced car worth more? Or is it an example of cost of ownership?

I totally agree that you should maximise your price but including servicing in your final price calculation is a little flawed I think.

The intention was to keep :) anyone buying a speedmaster or chrono should value a service. They are not cheap to service

No mechanical is really. It's a part of the hobby that comes with sticker shock. Especially on some of the higher end bits. A 3hander VC service is over 1k if you go with sending it in 😮 but it adds no value, and in some cases such as Rolex and VC where parts such as dial/hands/bezel can be replaced at the service centre, can devalue a watch.

Servicing a mechanical watch is a sunk cost of ownership that adds no value at all IMO. Yes it's great to know an owner looked after their watch but, it is part an parcel of owning one.

If the service reconstitutes paperwork and gives a "confirmed" original watch I'd agree that it would make the watch as valuable as an Omega with original papers.

Surely no more valuable tho? And a service by a 3rd party or non Authorised service centre, whilst great and a sign of responsible ownership. Doesn't add to the sticker price of a 2nd hand sale, does it?

Serious question BTW, not meant to be rhetorical, rather that's my view and happy to learn why I'm wrong 😉

ok so i didnt get the service to increase sales potential. when i serviced i supplied an oem crystal and bezel which was fitted. 1k sounds about right if omega were to do it. Intention was and might still end up being was to have a mint serviced speedmaster in as new condition. Its easy saying its only worth 3k but go try and find one for less than 3500 with a service and box and its not that easy either. One did sell on adverts a while back for 3k but the buyer basically said it needed a service.. i believe a local bought it :)

reality is id be better off keeping the speedmaster rather than selling and loosing money so that might be the best plan. if i can sell for close to what i have in it then it makes it a little easier. I know if i want an example as good as it again id have to pay north of 4k

Im in no rush to sell. It’s only on chrono24 few hours so I’ll sit tight a while. I’d be happier selling locally as there’s no international shipping to worry about and time delay on payment etc

Yeah that's it - ideal situation is i can convince myself i don't need to sell to fund the next purchase.. im not looking to make money but doesnt make sense to loose either if you don't need to

Watch winder sold, still have the free Seiko box / bracelet
