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

Yes agreed there, plenty of signs of a stagflation period coming, which is terrifying. We haven't seen one in the western world in about 50 years and circumstances are very different now, so it is extremely hard to make any predictions about it.

Fitz II · 24-08-2022 1:52pm

With the watches my prediction is that at the moment dealers (you can say the same to a lesser extent for private sellers) are sitting on stock and on the books anyway things are not too bad, they can manipulate Chrono24 prices as they wish to bolster the value of the stock. But thats a lot of cash tied. At some point they are going to have to actually sell these watches. They will sell the older ones in stock longer bought for lower prices. But in time they will have to realise their losses. Somebody is going to be first and at the moment nobody wants to be the one to get in first and get the dosh off what buyers there are out there. Once the dominos start the market will find the true value of these watches.

I was starting to think that the market was stablising, but then I start getting fed the youtubes about how now is the time to buy and that sealed it for me. If it happens real slow maybe inflation will balance it out. but if I was sitting on 10 hulks at 24k and 10 daytonas at 40k I would be **** my pants right now

As for global recession I dont know, certainly it will look very different from the last recession and I dont know what it will look like. Stagflation needs high unemployment rates so I am not sure unless a ton of layoffs in the next while....hard to see in Ireland.

@Fitz II - " if I was sitting on 10 hulks at 24k and 10 daytonas at 40k I would be **** my pants right now"

If I was sitting on one each this morning, I wouldn't be sitting on them anymore this evening 😁

But seriously very few dealers would have bought the bulk of their stock at the peak of the boom at the start of this year. And even if they have some overvalued stock, previous profit accumulation should well balance that out. They'll wait it out, they'll be fine. If not, it's time to separate the wheat from the chaff and some overstretched chancers will disappear from the market

Once again my taste in watches doesn't quite match my taste in wages. GLWS, some nice ones there

Lorddrakul · 30-08-2022 10:28am

Just as a minor aside, I've recently had better luck on eBay than I have on domestic classifieds with sub €500 watches.

Things that hadn't moved in months went in days, for more or less what was expected.

I've done a fairly vicious clear out in recent months and sold six watches. I'm now down to vintage non-runners and bracelets to get rid of.

scwazrh · 30-08-2022 11:23am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119539438#Comment_119539438

I've a few more to add when I get chance but just having a bit of a clear out .Any funds in will be kept in the watch fund for future purchases. Most likely a gmt master II in some form . I've a watch bought from @893bet when we get time to meet up and its very different to my usual type.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119541146#Comment_119541146

Yes most likely will use ebay for the seiko's, just wanted to get some listed somewhere as I've been meaning to do it for a while now.

Deep Thought · 30-08-2022 6:26pm

Wow , some crackers there

Eoin · 31-08-2022 9:38pm

Any interest in this Seiko cocktail for 230 posted nationally? I bought it from fellow member Frankie5Angels a while back- it's a lovely watch, but I just don't need or wear dressier pieces. I probably have a spare Seiko box, but assume a generic box and no warranty card thingy.

kc_dund · 04-09-2022 12:12am

Anyone interested in a Tudor Black Bay 58 blue on bracelet, bought new in November 2020. All boxes, papers etc. included.

Looking to put it up for sale properly in the next week or so, just haven’t gotten around to doing so yet.

kc_dund · 04-09-2022 12:15am

Also have a vintage Universal Geneve Ferrovie dello Stato for sale, MKII. In great condition, no idea when it was last serviced but runs nicely and keeps good time.

Gavin1 · 04-09-2022 9:20pm

Hi, I am reducing the Damasko DA-34 to €650 and the Sinn 856 UTC to €1,250. This is for post #3905.

Any questions drop me a PM.

Thanks

micks_address · 05-09-2022 2:31pm

Hi folks,

Selling my Seiko spb149. Lot of watch and nice package for the price.

http://www.adverts.ie/27875801

Cheers,

Mick

Lorddrakul · 07-09-2022 5:03pm

Managed to sell another one via ebay, after no interest whatsoever here.

Another 3-500 range watch.

Fees are steep, but it's gone.

That's me done now, down to just three regular wearers, a manual chrono, a quartz one and an auto three hander.

Not sure if the pieces I had recently were of limited appeal or what but never had a sniff on the domestic sites.

How much do ebay charge these days?

Eoin · 08-09-2022 9:34am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119586603#Comment_119586603

11% up to a couple of grand. Chrono's 6.5% doesn't seem so bad (just wish they allowed private sellers to set a fixed price).

njburke · 08-09-2022 11:37am

Where do you list, ebay.ie and then set eu wide? It's a hassle posting to the UK or do ebay take the paperwork out that and pre pay import chargers.

Eoin · 08-09-2022 12:00pm

Looks like my Zenith is sold - shame as I loved the look of it, but it was just too big. A bit of a costly trial period, but them's the breaks. Thinking of a Navitimer or McQueen Monaco to replace it.

Lorddrakul · 08-09-2022 3:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119586603#Comment_119586603

As was said, its about 11% witht he fees and charges.

They seem to look after destination VAT etc, as it went to the UK and I didn't need to adjust anything except print the invocie and the label.

All fairly easy, but you have to overprice to as not to get rinsed yourserlf.

banie01 · 08-09-2022 3:57pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119590354#Comment_119590354

Yeah the 11% does make Chrono24 look like a decent option. I know I've mentioned it here before but I always find reddit's r/watchexchange and watchuseek to give plenty of response too.

Lorddrakul · 08-09-2022 5:47pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119590514#Comment_119590514

Yup, for anything over 500, CHrono24 is the way to go. I've sold successfully on it and it is a vastly nicer process than eBay.

Though I had good experiences with eBay this time, it is still a but fraught in case someone throws a wobbly.

atsbury · 10-09-2022 9:21am

reluctantly selling my Planet ocean.

if any one has an interest?

new mortgage dictates sale unfortunately.

looking for top dollar, but willing to negotiate

https://www.adverts.ie/27920987

893bet · 10-09-2022 10:05am

I think history will look back on the PO and realise the 2500 variants as being the best of the PO line up. Selling my orange bezel PO last year for not a lot of money is one of my few regret.

OmegaGene · 10-09-2022 11:05am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119598926#Comment_119598926

The prices are through the roof now for any planet ocean, the orange bezel is my personal fav

unkel · 10-09-2022 11:12am

If only the orange bezel 45.5mm one had a sunburst blue dial, I'd have one!

Some say they wear a bit funny, never tried one on.

CalamariFritti · 10-09-2022 12:37pm

Always thought some of the Planet Oceans were amongst the best looking marine themed watches around. I keep having a little look every now and then. The orange bezel one is one of them. Really nice. Sadly POs are all huge, most of them well over 40mm.

Cyrus · 10-09-2022 12:42pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119599439#Comment_119599439

There is a ‘unisex’ 39.5mm version of a lot of them now.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119571590#Comment_119571590

Damasko gone! Still looking for a new home for the Sinn.

kc_dund · 15-09-2022 5:28pm

My Tudor Black Bay 58 Blue pictured above is finally up on adverts (I’m not allowed post links yet), €3150 asking but obviously negotiable for anyone with serious interest!

Universal Geneve is gone via Chrono24, as mentioned above it is probably a better place to sell than eBay these days.

H_Lime · 17-09-2022 8:26am

If anyone is interested I have a..

Seagull 1963 Chronograph for sale new in box with papers and unworn.

It is this actual watch which I bought from WR4K himself

https://youtu.be/jwdiQ0AN_Pc

150 plus post.

Johnny1980 · 17-09-2022 8:41am

Guys I am selling a new unworn explorer 36mm . Let us know if anyone is interested . Will let it go for a decent price to someone on here .

Fitz II · 17-09-2022 12:10pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119629617#Comment_119629617

Thats some claim to fame for that watch...eek. You know who that guy is right? Google John McManus watches and then go disinfect your wrist.

H_Lime · 17-09-2022 12:20pm

That is news to me lol!

Should I put up the price now I know it's (in)famous :)?

As to the watch is as new, unworn, keeps great time and is going for an absolute song at 150e.

OmegaGene · 17-09-2022 12:21pm

What a strange choice of username, at a quick glance is looks like **** 🤣

Has you sold this Eoin? What's the model ref? Not certain if it's blue or grey from your photo. It's tempting me. I've always liked the Cocktail time, but like you I know I'd only wear it the handful of times a year I wear a shirt and tie. Still would be nice to have it as dress watch option though.

NIMAN · 17-09-2022 1:42pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119629617#Comment_119629617

Is it the 38mm or 42mm version? Prospective buyers might wanna know.

Used to own the 38mm myself, kinda miss it seeing this one. Great looking watch.

H_Lime · 17-09-2022 2:05pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119630544#Comment_119630544

It's 38mm. Non Swan neck original movement keeping good time.

Sapphire crystal front and back (coated back)

18mm lugs on a green nato.

IMG_20220917_135108.jpg

And the reason for sale is I have two.

I've been wearing the one on my wrist daily spanners, using power tools, hammering and generally trying to kill it but have not been able. Column wheel chrono is a joy to behold and use imo.

Resist.

H_Lime · 17-09-2022 2:26pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119630652#Comment_119630652

Give in lol.

It's in the sensible 38mm with sapphire, you can use it and at 150 it's not going to hang around, I'd sooner not deal with adverts.ie is all.

NIMAN · 17-09-2022 2:27pm

I'll pass.

But for anyone interested it is a lovely watch for that money. Mine also had the sapphire glass front and back.

Eoin · 19-09-2022 2:56pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119630333#Comment_119630333

Yep, this sold on adverts last week (link with better photos). It was the blue version. A lovely watch, and I think great value for money, just too dressy for me.

Johnny1980 · 21-09-2022 9:56am

guys if anyone is interested letting my new explorer go for 7700 if anyone is interested

unkel · 21-09-2022 10:28am

Any more details @Johnny1980 ? What's the exact model / reference number, full set, condition, where bought, how old, serviced, etc.?

Johnny1980 · 21-09-2022 8:25pm

Hey , it was purchased from bucherer convent garden UK in June 2022 by myself . Ref 124270 the new 36mm model . Its unworn too

Johnny1980 · 21-09-2022 8:26pm

Pride and pinion will take it but would prefer someone here to get it for a similar price

Oh christ, this turd has floated back up from the u-bend. I notice from his 127k subscribers and 10k views he gets about 15 comments on each video. Strange that

OmegaGene · 23-09-2022 8:27pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119657008#Comment_119657008

Anyone would think he paid for subscribers

893bet · 24-09-2022 9:00am

paid comments are expensive vs paid views and subs.

A strange existence living of sale of cheap watches. On his old channel he used call all the brands he reviews now as “excrement watches” (trying to be different.than Archie’s shitters). Now he praises them all day.

Flip flop in the wind. But that’s the morals and conviction of the man.
