    Wanted: watch with radium lume.

    I've 7.5-8" wrists, so the bigger the better. A 34-35mm watch really doesn't suit meAnything considered, even in fairly poor condition, head only, as long as it runs reasonably well, say +/- 120s per day accepted

    Don't want to spend cash unless it is very cheap, would prefer to do a trade with cash adjustment either way, this is what I have up for sale at the moment:

    Fair play. I couldn't get any interest in a Poljot 3133 last year at all, despite a recent service receipt.

    It's crazy. They are lovely watches with heritage and super cheap. At 38mm just too small for me and I can't really read any chrono subdials anymore without reading glasses, that I don't have with me most of the time as I don't need them much for anything else

    Funny that the day after I sold it (with zero interest while I had it up for a couple of months), I get contacted by someone wanting to buy it this morning

    What's the story with talking to yourself? 🤔

    You talking to me? My last post is just to let people know I got what I was looking for. So I won't waste people's time. Unlike that guy on TZ a few days ago who hadn't marked his watch as sold outside the forum several days earlier. That wasted my time sending him a PM about the watch. And wasted his own time having to reply to me

    I thought this was pretty obvious…

    And now I'm here anyway, it looks like all my watches might be sold in the next few days 😶

    Hi,

    I'm looking for a SRPE51 on the original stainless bracelet if any has one and is interested in selling. I'm specifically looking for the rhodium dial srpe51.

    Thanks

    I'm going to offer it here before I make any real effort to list elsewhere 😉

    My Sinn U2-W, quite a rare piece,a limited edition of 150 watches that were originally sold in Japan & USA. It might not matter to most, but this is number 069/150 and I do still giggle at that.

    This is a 44mm watch, a big best but very comfortable. Aswell as the box and papers, I'll also include a brand new set of Silicon straps and a Sinn clasp. The watch itself is fully regimented as is the bracelet and clasp, so it is both very hard wearing and in great condition.

    It's offered here at €2500 and given the prices of the few currently for sale? I think that's a very fair price. If/when I lost it elsewhere, the asking will be raised.

    I'll add better photos, from all angles over the weekend along with photos of the box and accessories

    I've yet to set up the lightbox for proper "sale" photos on this one. I have pulled out the box and added a few more photos below. It's a complete set with the additional leather strap and tang buckle completely unworn. There's also a grey NATO that's lightly worn and as part of the sale I will include a Sinn Silicon strap, white & black along with the old Sinn fold over clasp.

    A huge amount of value for the money at €2500 IMHO and I won't be offering it for sale elsewhere for at least a couple of weeks and when I do, the asking will be higher elsewhere.

    This is one of those watches that I honestly thought I'd never sell. The combo of its being an LE and the 069 serial honestly, appealed to my barely concealed inner teen 😁

    However, on reflection and reviewing what's in my watchbox? As I already own a U2 SDR along with a 2nd steel bezel, the bracelet and a slew of straps? I'm leaning towards keeping the SDR as I can chop and change it's look.

    When I was deciding what to sell? After assessing what I own, It really came down to a choice between the U2-W and my Omega GMT, the blue dial and my 2nd U2 really made my mind up for me.

    Offering my Sinn 105 with fully tegimented case.

    RRP with the bracelet is €2,015 + shipping.

    Will offer here for €1,500.

    If I hadn't had a kid last month I'd be all over that Sinn. Need to work out just how expensive this new chapter is before I go buying stuff at that price range 😅



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,617 ✭✭✭✭banie01


    Speaking of Sinn 😉 I've "officially" listed my U2-W on TZ and on Chrono.

    The asking on TZ is €2950 with C24 asking at €3100, my boardsie price is listed on my earlier post here 😉

    I genuinely think that with the addition of 2 silicon and a clasp that it offers decent value esp at the Boardsie price versus what's available to import currently.
