It is the original casebook. However, I also have an aftermarket display caseback that you can use instead of the original one.

So, is it a display caseback or the original caseback? I'm kinda confused by your post.

...Annnnnd SOLD. Happy the watch is going to a new home but still remaining in this forum/parish.

I'm (reluctantly) putting my Omega Speedmaster Professional 3570 up for sale. It's not on adverts or any other sales sites yet - I'm hoping I can sell it here which is where I bought it originally.

It's from 2014, all boxes and cards present and correct. I've just had it polished and authenticated by Breretons (and have letter to prove) so it looks great. It is the plexiglass model (which is nicer IMO), and I also have an aftermarket glass caseback that has been on it almost since I bought it. It is a nice bonus to be able to see the movement. I brought the watch into Breretons to get them to replace the original seahorse caseback so it has been done properly. There is a leather strap as well on a deployant clasp that I never really used. €2,850 or so. Let's see if I can upload some photos now...

Good to know they're worth that kind of dollars

Is that a big watch? Looks it.

That's an SKX009 and it's a 42mm watch.

It was one of my old ones before I sold it to emo. Carlton Browne from here on boards saw it at a gtg and had his own built to look exactly like mine. Bracelet cost around 120, the Dagaz double dome crystal was $100 and then the Yobokies handset was another $50, by the time you have added in the cost of the watch you have no chance to recover the build cost.

Honestly it's the best 009 mod I have ever seen and a bargain at that price.

NIMAN · 27-02-2019 11:40pm

Yeah it's nice alright, but it would break my puny wrists.

Change of circumstances, so the Monaco is now listed on adverts (link). Good deal available for regulars.

Now sold elsewhere. Adverts users can really be very frustrating to deal with. Might list my Sinn 956 too, but I think the box is already packed in storage

Sold on TZ in a day pretty much. Irish market is waste of time.

Yep, and had 2 people in line if the first one fell through. And it went to an Irish member, so didn’t even have to worry about posting. Double win! Some particularly annoying PMs on adverts this time around.

funkyouup · 06-03-2019 10:49pm

I used to love when id put in an ad "no trades" and in seconds you'd have someone asking to trade for an xbox or some ****box car that they cant sell for cash.

Eoin · 06-03-2019 11:23pm

It wasn't that bad thankfully - I did get some trade offers that didn't include enough cash for me, but every one of those people were completely reasonable & polite when I declined.

One person agreed to buy, and then blocked me instead of telling me that he had changed his mind - and then outright lied in the feedback (adverts support people removed the swearing, but not the lie - yeah, thanks guys).

Another fella just wouldn't listen to me when I told him not to bother offering less than the best price I gave him - and then he offered less than he had earlier.

If it wasn't such a pain in the hole shipping outside of Ireland, I wouldn't bother with adverts at all.

OmegaGene · 06-03-2019 11:49pm

I think when you go above a certain value on adverts it just takes patience, best not to take it too personally but it’s hard not too sometimes.
I sold a breitling recently and there was 2 buyers both made offers, one fella made an offer and I countered and no reply, second buyer said on Friday night he would probably take it but wanted to chat to me Monday on the phone and then talk to breitling, then buyer number one says he was off line apologised for the delay and paid straight away so all good, when I told the other buyer he lost the plot accusing me of having a fake watch and saying I must be foreign because I wasn’t a man of my word, just a litany of abuse really and then he left me a negative.
The joys of adverts

Eoin · 07-03-2019 12:03am

Yeah, you just have to take a deep breath. At the end of the day, I didn't have to post the watch, and the advert didn't cost me any money. You get just as crazy offers on Chrono24 unless the price is fixed, and then you pay a commission. And let's not even talk about the eBay and PayPal fees...

You can be lucky too. I've had nothing but good experiences with Italian sellers down the years. Sellers mind you. A few have told me that stuff "going missing" in the Italian post is nearly always stuff coming into the country, rather than going out.

hitemfrank · 11-03-2019 1:45pm

A couple of years ago when buying straight razors from the USA, twice I had guys sell to me instead of someone in Italy. We had both offered the same money to the sellers and the Italian guys normally offered first.

There were a number of 'missing' packages sent to Italy at the time that sellers just didn't want to deal with the hassle of Italian post.

Just ignore the low offers

Adverts is like that.
Just something you have to take on the chin.

Thirdfox · 19-03-2019 4:22pm

Can set a minimum price also - I set mine not at the lowest price I'd accept but the lowest price I consider someone to be actually potentially serious about buying the item i.e. an item I want to sell for 250 and would accept 220 I'd set the lowest price at 150 - cuts out the crazy 50-100 euro offers from people.

That makes no difference at all, I've tried it

People will just offer your minimum of 150 and then type in "offer 1 for PM lad"

OmegaGene · 19-03-2019 6:07pm

There’s no right or wrong method for adverts really just have your asking price and add on a few quid for haggling, trying to list watches at the asking price doesn’t work at all

Comes on a brand new leather strap. Watch never worn still has plastic on the back. It has a carbon fibre dial which is pretty nice looking.

Taking the item off adverts is a bit self sabotaging. it removes any chance of the right buyer seeing it, and it takes nothing to just politely decline or ignore silly offers.

One needs to take adverts in the right frame of mind, but if you cant get over lowball offers & trades fore a broken PS2 and a set of tennis rackets, best steer clear of the site altogether.

Easiest way to deal with adverts is to post the item with a few extra quid added on for haggling, politely decline the silly offers and leave it up there while perusing other avenues of sale.

Adverts is having a wobbler tonight with cloudflare it seems - put up my Tudor Pelagos but got constant errors...now it seems like I've got 5 Pelagos(es?) up for sale!

Anyway - this is the active Tudor Pelagos ad:
https://www.adverts.ie/sports/tudor-pelagos-full-set-titanium-diver-25500tn/17589706

The full set, kept in loving condition (see the plastic cover still on the caseback and the hangtag - I'm OCD like that

).

I think I've priced it very competitively on adverts.ie at €2750 (see link to Chrono24 comparison on my ad) but for known boardsies I'd be happy to do a dealio too (would prefer to sell to a watch enthusiast too).

fulladapipes · 25-03-2019 11:38pm

I love the legibility of the dial on the Pelagos. And the light weight. Great photos you have there. Best of luck with the sale. Beautiful watch.

The Pelagos is an excellent quality piece. In many ways superior to the Submariner. Fair price. Good luck with the sale. Regards.
