Thread: CWC £1950 for a second hand watch

    CWC £1950 for a second hand watch

    Just looking in the vault of silvermans and shocked to see the price they are hoping to get for this second hand watch I had one of the 2002 version of this same watch and sold a few years ago for a fraction of what cwc want crazy price I think

    I spotted that one too.

    Some pretty ambitious pricing from them.

    Slightly off topic, but I see they haven't managed to shift all 100 of those 7733 chronos yet...

    I'd have been in the queue at 2k, or even a little more. But 5k???

    Autos generally sell for more than the Quartz versions. The fact that its a Tritium dial and hands is why it has a higher price.

    For a good T Dial Quartz, prices start at £1000 and probably go as high as £2000 depending on the seller, condition, provenance etc so £1950 for an T dial Auto, directly from CWC with a guarantee etc doesnt seem too bad.

    I agree that is not cheap but T Dial CWCs generally arent.

    I had a cracking T Dial RN Quartz and paid £1100, I've got a mint T Dial DBS and paid closer to £2000 for it.

    I agree, absolutely mental money for a 7733 watch

    Agreed, I waited a good couple of years for those after they were initially announced. Was so excited as the release got closer, until they announced the price!!!!

    Just after release I decided to finally go for an issued one at less than half the price they were asking, never looked back.

    I'm done with buying any further watches from CWC at this point.

    You are not the only one.
    The pricing of the chronograph was comedy gold. An issued piece was cheaper than the homage. An idiot and his money are easily parted - that seems to be the Watch industry at the moment.
