Just had an email about this watch from Watchfinder. Catalogue photo and not much info as per typical of this company. Comes with box & papers. Thoughts?

Already gone!
Looks like it's sold. I got the same FOMO email. Tempting price, especially from a dealer.

I got the same email and clicked immediately and was already sold. Did it ever really exist, or was it clickbait for the other many subs they have over £10k?
Doesn't that set the market price??
Probably mis-listed and they found the error..................
100% ^........6k as if.Quote:

I didn’t actually want to buy it, I was intrigued to see how beaten up a £6K sub with box and papers from Watchfinder would be!
And yet in reality it never was.Rather like my full set 14060 at only 3k.Quote:

Watchpro did a story on 5th Jan I am assuming same watch. However they stated £5100 1994 and also fully serviced & refinished? Doesn't make sense to me. Took a couple of minutes to sell so as soon as the site was updated a person instantly bought it......

I clicked through on the link sent in that email as soon as it dropped in my inbox (The Rolex).....it was available so someone must have bought it soon after that.

At least I now know these offers do really exist, fortunately for my abstinence pledge and wallet I'm not that keen on the bronze BB58. The email appeared when I was checking emails and I was able to add it to my basket but it sold a minute or so later.
Went quicker than a quick thing.
Wow that was cheap isn’t that supposed to be one of the most expensive versions of that watch?Quote:

My Speedmaster Date turned up today. During the order process, WF ask you to enter the size you’d like the bracelet set to, and they got hold of an additional spare link to size for me, which I thought was good service.
Watch arrived by DHL, tracked to my door, and was well packaged. I’m really happy with it - it’s immaculate and both the head and bracelet are like new. Comes with paperwork, certificate of authenticity and a watchfinder box.
Whoever snagged the Sub Date for £6000 definitely got a good deal, too.
Anyone posting a loss of £11,780,000 might try some extreme promotions.

That is for the year ending March 2023.....and things may well have become worse since then.

I do agree. OR it's some genius marketing from Watchfinder.Quote:

I am now on Watchfinder... Looking at their stock.
Perhaps the best £2K they ever spent!

I wonder if the balance sheet loss and current trading conditions might force them to lower their asking prices a bit in the future and reduce the margin on their stock?
