Always ask for a clear photo of the caseback. So long as it’s original it will tell you all you need to know.

Loads of amazing watches here. The great thing about Seikos is their accurate dateability.

20% should be achievable if you buy then and there.

What’s your oldest wristwatch in regular use guys? Mine is this 2nd Moscow Watch Factory 43mm from 1937, still ticking (loudly) after 84 years.

Is there an app for editing TGV out of any video he appears in. I’ll buy that for a dollar.

Some of their Google reviews make me very hesitant to consign my 16600 there for service. I don’t need new dial, hands, case, movement etc etc, just a simple service.

Stunning dial. I think it’s my own failing but after a few days with a beautiful watch like this I start to feel that I need a bit of rough and go back to my vintage divers.

Sounds like it needs inspection from a professional. It may be better to use a competent independent for a brief inspection although STS are pretty quick but may insist on full service.

At least with Japan they usually have great, accurate descriptions.

Do you use PayPal with eBay, because those fees have to be taken into account? When I buy cheaper watches I usually message the chrono seller suggesting 20% off for a direct sale.

Personally I would never pay more than £4K / $6K for a Datejust, whatever dial it had. Condition is important, sharp case lines, little polishing and freshly serviced. I would look for a cheaper one....
I agree about the bright white hands - they just look a bit “tacked on”. Apart from that a great watch.

Panerai for me.

Although saying that, I’ve gone from a Volvo Amazon to a Mercedes W123. Double the quality for about 60% of the price.

I find the 16600 has only been creeping up recently, rather than galloping. I bought mine for 7K from a dealer 2 years ago, and I believe no dealer should be asking more than 10 now (but they all...
I have to admit that I have gone fully eBay since lockdown, since it seems that private sellers are much more reliable than the usual High Street suspects.

Mine turned out to be the neighbours water-feature malfunctioning in his rear passage.

Definitely always ask. I agree that you are very unlikely to get one on a BB58, but other models more likely.
I always haggle like a dog anyway, no matter what the situation. I’m convinced that...
I’ve had both the ETA version and the in-house version. Movement wise there wasn’t a lot to tell between the two, both running at about +10 seconds a day. I was actually a bit shocked that the...
Has anyone used this new watch dealer who appeared on Instagram in December and seems to have a good selection of Rolexes Tudors and Omegas?
Please don’t run under the tap. By the time the water gets in it’s too late. The seals ‘should’ be up to snuff on a modern watch, but even so, better safe than sorry. Get a cheap watch for getting...
No particular advice from me except that I’ve never sworn as much as when trying to remove certain bracelets.
Calmly does it and I’m sure you’ll have it out with the advice above.

I also saw the book in Costco but this was the David Silver book. Tons of pictures but little of instructional value IMO.
Might be worth going to flick through it if you’re a Costco member.

When you say “hours out” do you mean fast or slow. If the former, I’m just wondering if it’s only magnitised, which would be cheap and simple to put right.
