    That's a lovely box for the money! If I hadn't one already I'd jump at that.

    Hey all, looking for opinions on either of the below as regards pricing or questions to ask prior to purchasing. I've bought on Chrono before but much newer watches...

    @rodneytrotter15 I've not had an Omega with a 7750-based movement but I do have a 7750 watch.

    They are very robust and with it being an Omega customised version, it will likely be a very good execution of the breed. It is an auto whihc is an advantage fo many Speedies, but is still likely to suffer from the elements of 'character' of the 7750 family: the minute hand can be a bit wayward while trying to set the time accurately, the rotor can sometimes feel like it is possessed and will spin out of the movement and the button feel for the chrono function can be a bit agricultural.

    But with that all said, if you like the 7750, then a Speedmaster interpretation of it is a very nice thing.

    Just a word of warning though, get extensive movement pictures. I purchased on Chrono24 recently, from a verified dealer of long standing and their claim of a recent service has since been comprehensively shown to be at odds with the evidence.

    Thanks for the help. I pulled this trigger on the first one this morning and thanks again.

    Hi guys,

    The previous Seikos are gone, so up next is my beloved Universal Geneve Polerouter. It's approx 1960s, running well and recently serviced. Featuring a microrotor, a very useful date and a beautiful champagne dial. Currently on a Hirsch strap. If anyone is interested, or would like further pics, happy to have a chat :) Priced at €690

    Hi folks,

    I recently bought a watch from watchshop.co.uk, and they've given me a 20 gbp off voucher if you spend over 100. It expires in 6 days, and I'm not going to use it so if anyone would like it feel free to PM me, cheers

    I have a couple of new watches coming in the next few weeks and looking to make a bit of space in my watch box.

    If you are interested in either of these let me know.

    Tisell 9015 Explorer
    j1YwjSTl.jpg

    Casio Edifice ECB-10DC-1AEF
    AxxWr7kl.jpeg
    (worn literally 4-5 times)

    Asking for €175 each.

    I like both these watches so if there isn't much interest I will probably just start a second box! A dangerous decision.

    As the original owner of the Tisell, I can honestly say it's a very well made watch for the money. Best of luck with the sale - or keep it :D

    Anyone any interest in my brand new (unworn) Seiko automatic pepsi diver? Would make a lovely Christmas present for someone

    What’s the thickness? Google is not clear and I am seeing a variety of measurements from 11.2 up to 14mm.

    Watchbox, not a cheapo one, worthy place to put your watches.

    I'd hardly get 210 for this at this stage? Pic is from original post, watch has been worn three times at most since then. No marks or anything on it. No point me keeping it really when I'm not likely to wear it.

    You should easily get 210 imho

    When did you buy it and what did you pay?

    `

    About 2/3 months ago, was a bit dearer than that, but willing to take a hit on it so I can have something else I fancy. Just for clarity, I was offering it to folk here for 210. As before, I don't really want to go near Adverts but I'd throw it on for a bit more there obviously.
