A ceramic Rolex Submariner for £4K is impossible these days? In the real world the Tudor is half the price of the Rolex which sounds like pretty good value to me.

That looks great for the price. I think I will order some up. The pen style tool I have is fine for natos but I think this style will be much better for bracelets.
I quite like changing the straps on my watch every now and again and don’t enjoy doing it using the spring bar removal tool I have (standard pen shaped tool). I have seen videos where a tweezers...

I just checked the rrp in Japan. ¥1,254,000 which is roughly £6,600. By the time you add uk VAT and shipping it would be more expensive than buying in the uk. I know used watches are cheaper in Japan...

New watch for me this week.

I agree about the Bond thing. Not only a fictional character but one that actually wore a Rolex in the books. All it is now is product placement in a movie franchise. I wouldn’t wear a watch with a...
I have this on the way to me. Really forward to receiving it. Never handled an Uncle Seiko bracelet before so not sure how that is going to feel but I prefer the look of it over the Tudor bracelet. ...
Well you did call my argument pointless. If that isn’t passive aggressive then I don’t know what is.
My 7 year old speedmaster is worth more now than I paid for it new. That makes their residuals...
No need to get aggressive and make false assumptions. I didn’t pay £3500, I paid less than that. And yes it was brand new (in 2017).
My point is you are comparing the sale price of an old model to...
I have just had a look at completed listings on eBay and it looks like the previous (big box versions) sells for around £3.5k whilst the current version goes for about £1k more making it more like...
Fine for the buyer but possibly not for the seller. If the watch never reached the buyer then the OP won’t receive the money.
Thank you for pointing me towards that thread. Quite an eye opener.
I have decided I am not willing to take the risk with uninsured postage so submitted a form for a watchfinder quote. I was...
That’s what I had gathered from previous posts about posting expensive watches but plenty of people are selling on eBay. Are they just accepting the risk of it going missing in the post?
I don’t...
I have 2 watches to sell and have been offered an 80% off eBay sellers fees this weekend. I know eBay have the authentication process which gives piece of mind when selling (and buying) but I am...
Agreed, the “X” that Seiko insist on putting on the dial doesn’t help either.
Do you mind sharing details of that strap please? It looks great.
Seeing as you asked -
1. The speedmaster doesn’t have a badly positioned date window.
2. The tachymetre ring on that zenith looks like it takes up too much room which makes the watch face look...
Wow, I like that a lot.
Is it two separate movements inside? Do you set both sides independently of each other?
It’s probably common knowledge but I have just noticed the price of the standard Speedmaster Professional has gone up to £6400. £400 more than it was last time I checked.
I’m not sure about other...
Flogging what? Watches??
If you search sold listings on eBay it is clear that they can all be had for around £300 with the exception of the moon and mercury models. Those are still going for over £400.
Having handled them...
What Duty? On a watch it is pennies (and below the threshold for collection).
I have a similar Aquaracer, mine has a blue ceramic bezel but apart from that looks pretty much the same (mine is 41mm). I just checked ebay for sold prices and last 2 both sold for around £800. It...
I popped in yesterday lunchtime and they had none. It is luck of the draw.
