    Hi all, brand new blue alpinist (SPB089) for sale on adverts.ie (I can't post links yet). Feels too big for me since I've gotten used to 34 and 36mm watches. If you find it cheaper anywhere else I'll match it.

    PM me the link and I'll put it up for you.

    I understand the price but I think it's be crazy to spend that much on it. The green one is knocking around for half the price.. don't get me wrong it's lovely and I'd buy it at 450 but the market is a little nuts on this one

    yeah seiko seems to be pushing the price up across all it's ranges. They've just announced a new alpinist to be released next year with similar pricing. I still feel it compares reasonably to alternatives in the price range but they're no longer great value for money as they once were.

    ...and yet another watch for sale on adverts.ie! Only purchased the Longines Legend Diver (36mm version) last month and was sure it was a keeper but a watch that I've wanted now for some time has come up on the used market at a reasonable price so this will have to make way if it's going to happen.

    Cant afford to take much of a hit on it so more so posting it in the hope that someone has been on the look out for this watch (it's quite hard to get hold of).

    Would any boardsie be interested in my Seiko SRPC49K1, considering selling it as it really isn't getting much wrist time at all. Known as the "Ninja Turtle" it is a limited edition and was quite sought after on release - believe it sold out everywhere. Mint condition and comes boxed. Would be hoping to get €750 for it based on prices elsewhere but open to offers.

    Here you go, https://www.adverts.ie/sports/longines-legend-diver-36mm/19175369

    Cracking watch. You may want to rethink your asking price a little though. There's a brand new one available from a reputable dealer for a few hundred less on Chrono24.


  • Registered Users Posts: 160 ✭✭thelizardking1


    If any boards members are in the market for a Superocean 2 chrono give me a shout. Comes with box, papers and brand new uncut rubber strap.

    I may be willing to swap/part exchange.

    Ideally I'm looking for a 42 or 45.5mm Planet Ocean on steel bracelet.

    Aren't we all. Specifically the 42mm. The 2600 movement would do and if I could afford it maybe the 8900.

    But thats just dreaming :D

    GMT Master II for sale again, relisted, I am such a indecisive idiot.

    Price drop 10k, maybe 5% more for a sound buyer off the forum

    Ok gmt is likely gone to a sound chap I have dealt with many times before. Rubber strap is for sale. Best you can get if you want one.

    If you got the 10k from him then that’s a good price IMO for a hassle free sale.

    Am thinking of putting this up for sale. About 17 months old with all papers and box. Ref 114300.

    I've an itch for a classic 36mm Datejust that needs scratching.

    Any interest and am I mad?

    Depends what you thinking on price for the Explorer? Datejust is a classic, but a 36mm is small enough unless your a very slender man.

    Depends what you thinking on price for the Explorer? Datejust is a classic, but a 36mm is small enough unless your a very slender man.

    I’ve a 7.5 wrist and I much prefer the 36 on. I think the new DJ ref is probably one of Rolex’s best proportioned watches and wears much larger than it’s size suggests (see also the old 34mm air king). Went into Weirs to buy a 41 last year, but it just felt wrong. The more I see it, the more I think the 41 is massively oversized for the style of watch, it just seems so “heavy”.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 646 ✭✭✭fulladapipes


    I agree. I have a Seamaster 600m 42mm and that feels right at that size. The Datejust seems more appropriate at smaller proportions. Maybe because it is slightly dressier.

    Similarly, I’ve no problem with the Explorer 2 or the Seadweller. The other watch I’m considering over a DJ36 currently, is at the other end of the everything spectrum: a black ceramic Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,636 ✭✭✭OmegaGene


    Personally I think 36mm is small but it all depends on your size and build rather than just wrist size, I’ve a 7 1/4 inch wrist but at 6 ft 4 and quite broad 36mm looks ridiculous on me

    Yeah that should sell quick enough. So on the DJ, fluted bezel or not? what metal? what face? there are so many permutations in the DJ.

    seems on the pricey side to me, €5350 from rolex new with no discount
    nice photographs though

    If it's 5350 new, shouldn't it be 12 grand on the used market? Is that not how the Rolex market works? :)

    Fluted bezel for sure. 16234, silver or black. Maybe even a 16233 two-tone, old school American Psycho jobbie. What do you think?

    There are very few of the black dial ones available second hand, so I figured I'd start there.

    I would assume that there is adverts tax on that...you need to go in low on adverts but not too low that you have no discounting room, everyone wants a discount on adverts. Personally I would remove the photos of it on a strap and on your own wrist, it makes people think of it as somebody elses watch rather than their shiny new purchase.
    Fluted bezel for sure. 16234, silver or black. Maybe even a 16233 two-tone, old school American Psycho jobbie. What do you think?

    FLuted bezel 100%, its not a datejust without one.

    Silver or black dial depends on your other watches and usual attire, blue dial is nice too.

    Jingly jangly jubilee for sure, its got to be.

    Two tone....god I dont now. I really like two tone, my wife has a 31mm TT DJ white dial, fluted bezel, numberials, as her "one and done" watch. I think its a stunner and goes with everything. I think that the bad rep that TT gets is unjustified, its a strong statement and I think is coming back into fashon. Having said that its not very sports and may give off the wrong vibe depending on your job and personality. I wouldn't get one myself, but I wish I had to ball to wear one. I just got a DJ 41 myself and its a class watch. I have 7.5''wrist and its not big at all, having said that I am short and broad, with short limbs, however something like a planet Ocean look massive on me.

    Lads, there'd hardly be any interest in a Steinhart Aviation? In and around the 200 mark is what i'd be thinking. It's in perfect condition aside from a little wear on the strap (from being bent around wrist) - i'd struggle to find a scratch - and would come with an additional Nato and Zulu strap. I've no photos just at the moment but can provide if needed - there are some on the photos thread too. 2 years old - might even still be just in warranty. I love it any time I have it one, I just don't wear it all that much which is probably why it's in decent nick.

    Actually, from their website, they don't seem to do it any more - just the chrono.

    Edit: Sorry, it is out of warranty. Purchased July 2017 (I also purchased an O1G that year, got mixed up).

    Is it the GMT version? A really beautiful watch if it is.

    No, it's the plain one. Lovely piece, but it's time to let it go.

    One watch in, one wife out? Seems reasonable! :pac:

    Thanks Frankie, delighted with the watch, nice clean lines, unlike most of the busy faces i bought. It a great start to Autos, with a nice sweeping easy to see second hand.
