Yes that’s the price range I had in mind for 2nd hand , there’s a nice one on adverts but he’s looking for over €3k which seems to much . If I can get 20% in lunns that would be €3520 for new from AD so definitely the way to go . I suppose that’s a big IF though

I would take a second hand one. Good chance you won’t keep. They are easy move on for what you paid. There is no AD experience and the papers with your name on it will be crammed into the attic.

Lots do keep I am sure but they are so easy get and so easy sell on that’s what happens.

Plus they are a “gateway” watch. Often the first big watch purchase that starts the obsession.

You should 20 percent off new from RRP.

I have two suggestions.

1) Reg on TZ-UK and I will keep an eye out for one on Sales corner and let you know who is selling one and you can engage with them via Private message. They pop up every week nearly.

2) Ring Lunns in Belfast and get your 20 percent off there and the better exchange rate and **** Weirs.

Cheers , I’m on tz but not enough posts for sales corners . Same user name if you see anything come up on the sales, thanks

In same boat but you can actually pm a member about a watch and I have bought that way. Sales there seem to be pm driven anyway

unkel · 20-07-2020 12:12pm

Watch box winder case with space for 4 watches on the winders and another 6 watches in the bottom tray, so 10 watches in total

Brand new, very decent build quality, but not working, although the supplied 3V power supply does what it says on the tin, I've measured the output with a multimeter

I have a new one on the way, any reasonable offer will take this one, but you have to collect it from me in Lucan

scwazrh · 20-07-2020 3:03pm

Rang lunns today to check stock and price of speed master .Was told one available and no negotiation possible on price .Similar to the response from Weirs on Saturday .
Granted may get a better response stood at the counter but it appears the 20% and more discount days are over

I wouldn't just assume that. Any salesperson worth their salt will not give you any discount if they sense they can sell it to you at full price. Not saying that's what happened here, but it could be a standard phone reply

Omegas have shot up in RRP over the last what maybe 5-10 years, to frankly mostly ludicrous levels. Base model Seamaster 300M auto, now €5k. C'mon that is crazy. Pay that and you will have lost over €1,500 as soon as you walk out the door.

Every outlet across the UK was doing 20 percent off speedmaster online during the shutdown.

I would buy second hand personally.

Hopefully it is achievable, I told them I would pay by Card over the phone straight away If they did it at 3500 sterling but they just repeated no negotiation available on omega .

Have to agree , I had two of them and ended up selling them both . Excellent watch but never happy with it on the bracelet. There is a guy on adverts selling one of the Seamaster 1957 trilogy’s . I have one and can honestly say it’s a superb watch . Much better value than the speedie in my opinion

This and I think it's in that category of watch that "everyone has to have in their collection", kind of like a rolex sub except obtainable and affordable, so a lot of people get them only to realise that they don't really love it. I fell into this trap last week (albeit on a very cheap watch) when I got a casioak. "Everyone has to have a gshock in their collection" etc but I had it up on ebay 20 mins after it arrived. As much as I want to like them, I just don't and know I'd never wear it.

Or else just buy it above! No chance Weirs will match it. The warranty is valid in ever AD after.

There’s a post on tz uk about the jewellers , they are not taking any more orders until Omegas price increase is complete

I've got a Omega Speedmaster Reduced without a box or papers. As I'm a newbie, I'm wondering where you would advise that I sell it and for what sort of price.

One issue is that I'm not sure if I have any spare links and I know my wrist is fairly small. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Time · 29-07-2020 5:12pm

Would there be any interest here in my DJ36? Its a year old and is a full set. I've the BLNR now and have my eye on another blue dial watch, so this would have to go first.

I'm sure others will offer advice but I'd have thought about 1500 euro ball park.

Timeless classic. Stick it on adverts. Rolex seem to command higher prices here in Ireland than the cheaper ones on chrono24, which will help you

What's the other blue face watch you are eyeing up?

Are these available anywhere without paying a ridiculous premium ? Aps are crazy expensive now it seems.

Nope unfortunately not, although surprisingly those models are actually cheaper than the plain royal oak in a lot of cases.

Pretty decent asking price as it is nearly brand new. But as always a discount for anyone in here!

This is one I want to move on. It's probably the nicest looking watch I have but I don't really wear it because I have a sumo for work and a DWP for good wear. I priced it higher than normal to fend off the adverts lunacy, but if anyone of the nice guys on here fancy it let me know. Thanks.

I'm looking to sell this Dugena Automatic Watch. It's meant to be 1975 old stock that I bought many years ago brand new and haven't worn. Any idea of worth?

Eoin · 12-08-2020 9:35am

edit:sold!

And as I suspected, this is a quick flip to make room for something else.

It's a Bulova Snorkel Accutron (ref 96B208). It's quartz with a sweeping second hand. 43mm wide, 48mm lug to lug. Comes in the box and with spare links for the bracelet. You can read more in this review.

I'd like the 175 I paid for it, to include registered post within Ireland.

Can you give us an indication of how much you are looking for? A quick search on eBay shows a good few vintage Dugena watches that seem very cheap. Not many automatics though and nothing like your watch. I like it but I wouldn't spend much money on it and I don't want to insult you with a low offer

david · 13-08-2020 10:09am

Still in the market for a Stowa Marine/Original if anyone see's a deal. The used market is pretty much dead right now. Was just about to close a deal on WUS for a silver dial, quick zoom on the caseback reveals the swan neck isn't engaged on the regulater and corrosion on the gear wheels. Water ingress and a botch job cleaning it up?

Frankie5Angels · 13-08-2020 11:09am

Bought this a few weeks ago but, between it not getting any wrist time and other real life things which i don't want to spend money on, I'm going to offer it here.

I'm willing to take a small hit on it (for the two times I've worn it!), and I already think I got a decent deal on it, so 265 of your eurodollars is what I'm looking for. It's spotless, and as soon as I've finished typing I'm putting it back in the box

I'm in Celbridge, but I'll travel to Lucan where I can - reluctant to overly flout the restrictions in place, as ridiculous as they are. I'll post either, but that'll cost the purchaser. Also willing to wait until restrictions lifted to meet.

Pic is my crappy pic from my post on other thread when i got it

There's hope for this one yet, looks like csanter is the 2nd owner and was completely unaware of the issues. Big apologies and it's off to his watchmaker for an assessment/back to Stowa for a repair & service if needed.

Open to doing a deal with return shipping from Germany to my work address in Dublin, hence avoiding customs.

Happy to wait this one out for a potentially good deal. Light a candle for us lads.

I tried the skip customs with Omega while I was in the US but they wouldn't play ball. I wanted to send from the US for service and have them send to Ireland but they wouldn't. Stowa being a smaller company might be more open to it

I'd say there's hope. Given I work in accommodation/property with a lot of foreign clients, guests using our mailroom for forwarding would be a fairly common occurrence. I don't think they'd bat an eyelid if it wasn't for Covid19.

banie01 · 15-08-2020 3:34pm

I've been looking at my watchbox and in view of what I currently have, and what I'd like to have!
I feel I may need to let something go.

It comes down to one of my 2 ana-digi's my Ti Promaster or my Arnie!
As one was a fathers day present

It will be my Seiko Arnie that goes.

I'll add photos later today or tomorrow at the latest, full set in great condition. I'll give it a full visual once over before I commit to a "definite" condition.
Would be thinking €330 including postage in Ireland.
