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

Extended warranty via a service centre service is of course appreciated, but it wouldn't justify a higher price for me

But, if one feels it offers scope for a higher price on a private sale? Surely then it's as easy for the buyer to use a pro-dealer and have the additional security that comes with that?

I'd like it 2nd hand cars, if the manufacturer's warranty is out and it matters to you? You buy from a dealer.

In Mick's case, pricey service and bezel and crystal replacement with original parts but by a 3rd party (it was via watchfix wasn't it Mick?). No reconstituted paperwork/history and no added value versus similar watches with a "fullest" IMHO.

Now I feel like I'm trying to **** on a sale, or argue with a value. I'm not and Mick I am sorry if it comes across that way. The market will of course set the price,and I'm sure with whatever offers you've received via adverts and Chrono24 have given you a ballpark?

The chrono fee is @ 6%, you've listed on adverts for 3600. The difference comes out to 28 on the bottom line. The chrono24 offer of 3800 v boards asking of 3600, would give a commission of 228. Leaving 28 in the difference plus the work of shipping.

Is there a few quid more to be squeezed out of the chrono24 offer to meet that gap?

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

In fairness, if someone local buys it? They are getting a thoroughly rejuvenated watch at a fair price 😉

And if it's only up a few hours you may as well leave it a while and see if you get closer to your asking there. That would/should cover the costs of the deal there.

GLWS wherever you sell it 👍

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

Fitz II · 03-09-2021 02:04PM

Mick I bought the same generation perfect condition Speedmaster box and papers for under 3k on adverts a month ago and sold it as part of a trade for about 100 euro profit (was a deal sweetener). 3800 is a legendary offer on a naked watch. Have to agree with comments a 3rd party service adds basically nothing. Sure if you are keeping the watch its good to know its serviced, but a Watchfix.ie receipt is no reassurance really (I am sure Chris does a very fine job) but having Omega papers and service would have actually added the value. Service papers are often better than original as they add warranty and they give a more recent indication of authenticity. But again a receipt from watchfix doesn't do this in the eyes of a buyer.

Take the 3800 and run :)

unkel · 03-09-2021 03:52PM

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

scwazrh · 03-09-2021 07:22PM

€3800 seems very good . If I was selling my big box version which is 2016 and very near mint , I would list at €4200 and take anything over €3800

micks_address · 03-09-2021 08:53PM

hi folks

looks like the speedmaster is heading to Italy. Any suggestions for shipping with insurance?

anyone use securus insurance?

thanks

mick

Never used securus but good reviews on other forums. DHL will insure also but expect 2-300 euro.

micks_address · 03-09-2021 09:09PM

Looks like I can courier for about 30 to 50 euro and 25 euro for insurance with securus

unkel · 03-09-2021 09:44PM

That's a bargain. An Post take €47 for just regular registered shipping but uninsured, within the EU (for a big enough heavy enough box like your speedy)

I used Secursus & DHL to send my sub to Italy - it was 65 for the insurance and 85 for DHL. Can't remember what the fully insured DHL quote was, but I think it was under 200 quid. It was an easy process with Secursus, but I suppose you don't know how good they are until something bad happens.

Pablo_Flox · 06-09-2021 02:00PM

Having a bit of a clear out.

First up is my Ocean 39 GMT Premium 500 Ceramic

These are €705 on the Steinhart website (watch +shipping)

Was hoping to get €500 for it.

Also up is my Ocean One Titanium 500 premium Ceramic. These are €635 (watch + shipping).

Was hoping for €450.

If you are interested in either drop me a message and we can talk!

I always use DHL express . To ship it it would be roughly 100 euro with insurance . It’s 10 euro per 1k . most times it is delivered next day too .

PS don’t mention it’s a watch as they won’t take it . I always ship stating Horology goods .

In the end my speedmaster stayed in Dublin. The buyer of my aqua Terra organised postage himself. Fedex collected yesterday and he arranged insurance with securus

Pablo_Flox · 08-09-2021 08:01AM

Ocean One Titanium has been sold.

The Ocean 39 GMT Premium 500 Ceramic is still available

They really are. It's funny, and I feel stupid even expressing the sentiment but, I haven't quite "bonded" with mine yet (same as above but 42mm), as in I don't love it, or find myself admiring it as much as other watches, it leaves me a bit cold. But it's noticeably more accurate than my other 3 (cheaper) automatics and it's clearly very well screwed together. A quality product.

Watch box is looking lonely… will have to downsize

Shooter_galway · 14-09-2021 08:59PM

Hi guys, looking for advice on where abouts in Galway to get a few watches appraised or valued?

banie01 · 14-09-2021 09:06PM

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117892377#Comment_117892377

Hartman's in Galway would be the 1st name that springs to mind.

If you post some photos here though, I'm fairly certain that the wisdom of the crowd here could give a very near approximation and let you have a little bit of knowledge before you find a valuation.

tmg · 14-09-2021 09:22PM

hi folks

want to move on two save the ocean prospex seikos. a STO samurai (SRPC93K1) and a STO turtle (SRPC91J1)

the Turtle is in excellent condition, with some light wear marks on the strap clasp, the samurai is similarly clean. boxes and papers with both

looking for 450 for the samurai, 375 for the turtle and a deal to be done for both

Fitz II · 15-09-2021 06:25PM

Need to liquidate some cash for another project, so letting go of my Kermit. I was going to give this a long hold but something has cropped up. I never really wear this one and my hulk occupies my green watch lust.

This is a 2007 Kermit, Full collectors set (that makes quite a price difference on these) in minty unmolested condition. Recently pressure tested with watchfix.

Will pop it on adverts but prefer a boards sale. These really are a beautiful. Will certainly be the cheapest full set one going. PM me if interested.

893bet · 15-09-2021 07:48PM

def the best version of sub you can get, vintage yet modern, a short production run. One of the Undervalued Rolex sports if there is such a thing.

closes eyes and repeats quietly *I do not like Rolex*

Shooter_galway · 16-09-2021 10:01AM

This is the one I'm looking to see if it's real, my gut is fake as there is no bubble around the date, nothing on the back either. FYI belonged to my late father so just looking for info if that's ok mods?

The sea dweller range actually wouldn’t have a bubble on the date.

But sadly fake in either case.
