Hey -

Got an order from CheapestNatoStraps this morning I had completely forgotten about. Wanted to try sample some colours on Marine Nationale style straps for my Seiko project. Took a good 6 weeks to arrive and in that time I decided to go black-on-black with my SKX on a Crafter Blue. Just before I return them, seeing if anyone here wants them for same as what I paid. Completely unused.

22mm, Blue and Black options. Both on brushed steel style hardware.

€9 each or both for €17, postage incl.

Keeping the strap trend going. I have this brand new martu leather strap that I had custom made for my steinhart ocean vintage gmt. Never put on the watch as I thought I'd lost and the watch went before Xmas

Think it would look really well with the watch. It's I think 18mm at the buckle and 22 at lugs (whatever the steinhart size is)

Cost about 50 euro. Would be happy to let go half price posted in Ireland.

That's pretty fast in fairness to An Post... posted at 345 yesterday afternoon and makes it way down the country in less than 24 hours.

Fair play, can't praise An Post enough, real heroes of this pandemic. Everything I've posted standard over the last couple of months has got to it's destination in a working day. The local post lady checks in daily on my parents, gets provisions for them when needed from the shop, collects their mail, posts free of charge and still has time for a chat with a smile.

Royal Mail on the other hand, might aswell be coming from Djibouti.

Another thumbs-up for An Post - bought a watch on Adverts yesterday afternoon and had it delivered this morning (Clare to Dublin). Big thank you to the seller too if you're lurking here!

hitemfrank · 22-05-2020 9:25pm

While I have a package that was 'accepted' into a post office yesterday and no movement since :-(

NIMAN · 23-05-2020 12:13am

I posted something yesterday and it was collected at 14:45 in a rural Donegal post office.

By 05:30 It had got to Drogheda via Lifford, Athlone and Dublin mail centres.

Yet 18hrs later it's still showing as being in Drogheda sorting unit.

walshtipp · 23-05-2020 12:36am

Selling this watch at the moment if anybody is interested at all.

It's a Rotary GS05032/21 Automatic Mens Skeleton watch.

Only used a couple of times, so in great condition overall.

€200 approx.

Seems about 900 over realistic.. still though you have to advertise about 400 over on adverts and expect offers lower. I'd have thought 3k is realistic price for it. In the UK they going about 2600 Sterling on the forums

It seems regardless of the variant you buy, the initial depreciation is high on these.

There have been more in the last few weeks than usual too, as far as I can see.

if for some reason you had paid retail on one youd be crying :pac:

and its an understandable asking price from someone who did pay retail as youd have to assume they dont know any better

he will get a shock!

he might just come away thinking all buyers on adverts are low balling dicks. I would come in there at 2400 and see whats what and yes 3k would be about right on it as its 10/10. The buyer has to go low in order to meet in the middle, but that first offer is 1600 under asking, which really seems a dick move. If I wanted to sell that I would start 3300 with 3k as a reasonable final price. It shows intent to sell. But as you maybe rightly point out if the chap did pay anywhere close to retail he is about to get a fright.

Embarrassed to be selling these, came with my turtle. If anyone wants them for their kid etc let me know. Price of a pint Revolut incl postage for anyone here.

WTB - Seiko SRP Turtle bracelet - let me know if anyone has anything, open to OEM or Strapcode etc.

unkel · 27-05-2020 12:49pm

There's one for sale here for EUR70

Linky

Bit expensive and very strange that the ad is called "Seiko Watch" when there isn't a watch for sale, just a bracelet

But I guess that is yourself over there making an offer for PM just now?

david · 27-05-2020 1:18pm

Yeah been following this - asking price and shipping estimate is a bit salty though, they’re about £80 new just finding stock is a problem. I thought my €60 offer incl a €1 stamp was generous enough for a used item.

Another guy on adverts tracked me down through an ad to sell one but I don’t think it’s legit will post a picture on the fake watch buster thread.

unkel · 27-05-2020 10:13pm

Selling my Isofrane strap. The original rubber diving strap. Considered the best. Had it on my Seamaster last summer, but the watch is gone and the strap needs to go too. Looking for €80 for it, and that is lower than you will ever get one on eBay.

@Cmar
Would there be a bracelet for an skx in that parts bin by any chance?

david · 30-05-2020 9:19am

I have a Super Oyster style bracelet with hollow fitted end links for SKX007/9/11. No idea where it came from, spurious no doubt. Came as part of another deal. It's weighty enough at 91g compared to the stock Jubilee 55g. It's sized for 7", I have 3 more links and there's good wiggle room on the micro adjustment. Takes Seiko fat boy 2.5mm bars.

If it's any use to you let me know.

Many thanks to both replies. Missed out on the skx this time but will keep it in mind thanks Cmar/David

I might have a jubilee from an SKX, will dig around.

You’ve been trying to pick up one for a while? I’ll keep an eye out for you. The prices are fairly mental. They’re €250 on creation watches for the 009, that’s unfortunately the best value I’m seeing for a new one. Can’t see them getting any cheaper. I’d always recommend second hand if you’ve plans to mod it anyway. I got mine for a fair deal with a scratch on the crystal which I was replacing with sapphire anyway. The 7S26 is the most reliable movement I have, it’s lost about 5 seconds over the last fortnight compared to my iPhone. It’s the cockroach of the clock movement world. Survive anything.

There’s better value right now in prospex turtles, you’d get an SRP 775/777 for less money than an SKX with a bit of patience

Pm us a price on that if Roy doesn’t want it, owe you one since the chapter ring.

Roycropper63 · 30-05-2020 4:19pm

Work away david had my eye on an 013; but was indecisive on 2:occasions recently and missed them. Have an srp773 turtle already and got a 4th generation monster .
So will keep searching.

david · 30-05-2020 4:30pm

Ah ok I’ll let you know if I come across any bargains, 20mm lugs on the 013 so neither bracelet would work

I am looking at a bit of a clear out but throwing these up here before putting on the ebay/adverts. PM if interested or want prices etc.

First pic is a no name Chinese flieger. I think this is a Parnis with no name on the dial.
Second pic is a Seagull 63. About 2 years old. Includes original case and unworn straps.
Third is an old Chrono from the early 1960s with a landeron movement inside.
And the last is an Omega Seamaster 30 from 1963.

All sold now except the no name Chinese Fleiger.
California dial and display case back.
Looking for 80 for it.

Hope all is ok mate!

The Vacheron is beautiful, indeed all those watches are.
If I'd not just bought some bits recently I'd be all over at least 2 of these.

GLWS, and someone is scoring a real bargain with the Vach IMO.

All is ok thankfully. Not really a firesale btw. Was just jesting as we had been discussing people getting desperate and dumping watching.

Looking to trade up to something a little bit special and a lot expensive. It’s a longer term plan so not in a rush to sell.

All three are lovely watches. As I took quick and dirty images I was having second thoughts. Especially about the Planet Ocean. And the Vacheron. And the Nomos.

Already thinking of withdrawing lol.

david · 04-06-2020 9:07am

As an affordable watch guy, that Nomos is my grail dressier watch, absolutely beautiful and amazing price. If I wasn't on temp-layoff I'd be on it in a heartbeat. GLWS, or not as the case may be :pac:

Something more special than the VC? That's got to be pretty spectacular then (diamond encrusted Hublot big bang?)

Might regret letting the VC go. Close to irreplaceable. There is only one more 42040 for sale that I can see on chrono24. Genuinely rare (unlike the rare at RRP Rolex and patek) but Uber low demand.

I am after an A Lange and Sohne....exact model not quite sure yet.

The VC is a heavy hitter and would be a crown jewel in anyone's collection. To get a VC for that price is a steal for anyone. A Lange et Sohne...doesnt matter the model all 100% class.

Last off topic post on this (because I was going to post up a thread about whatever happened to the Zenith Defy Lab? - apparently it is now in serial production and called the Zenith Defy Inventor).

Here's the ordinary Inventor (with that uber accurate 18hz movement):

Who would have thought, certainly not me, but I already have my eye on another Rolex. Or two or even three others! Can't afford to own more than one at the same time, so I've decided to sell my Explorer 1 ref. 214270 from 2012, box and papers, in excellent condition.

I will most likely buy my next Rolex new from an AD, so it would quite likely involve getting on a waiting list. So I am not pushed for time or for cash here.

The cheapest 214270 from Chrono24 in the EU is a private sale looking for just under EUR5600 and it is in fairly poor condition. I will consider offers above that. Anyone seriously interested, feel free to PM me. I have not advertised the watch yet.

Time · 06-06-2020 8:07pm

What have your eye on as your next rolex Unkel?

unkel · 06-06-2020 8:10pm

Which one don't I have my eye on would get a shorter answer

My head is all over the place, some of them are out of budget but the realistic ones are an OP blue - probably too small at 36mm, a non date sub (have to get that out of my system) or the dark horse, the Z-Blue Milgauss. That could prove to be a keeper.

Watch that Z blue...its a very strong colour...I love it but its a strong choice.

Please please please if you are putting an ad on adverts take some good photos of the explorer. Low light, like at dusk outdoors and off the wrist as well. Nobody like to associate their potential new expensive watch with some hairy blokes arm.

You are totally ****ed now, Rolex all the way....I have one, I trade it for another, I buy another, now I have two. then three, then back to one then 4. Then you are hiding them from the wife. You have it bad and there aint no cure.

yep I can attest to that

Z blue I've had twice , I loved it but as Fitz said it's a strong colour .

What about a datejust 41 blue?

fat bloke · 06-06-2020 9:09pm

That's rather an alarming flip-rate for what would be considered significant.... destination watches. I always thought that further up the "expense" axis meant a diminishing "flip-factor", but I'm beginning to think that's not the case at all. Could it be in fact that the cheaper the watch, the more likely it is to be a keeper, and so-called "grail" watches provide little in the way of satisfaction or succour.
