    Here ya go. Wow. My guess is the wife said the watch needed to go. He tells her, "sure, I'll put it up for sale on ebay". He cleverly picks a price point which will ensure he gets to keep the watch, while practicing in the mirror "I tried honey, honest. guess no one's buying right now".

    I had to jump on this. I regretted not trying for the silver jubilee when it was first available and have been looking ever since. It seems a bit banged up, but nothing too bad. It just means it got some mileage before it reached me :) .

    Hopefully, this small dent in the bezel isn't a representation of far, more aggressive damage on the inside.

    Yeah, that's definitely a concern, but getting the watch maintenanced shouldn't be too difficult, if necessary. I know I won't be able to ask Eddie to service it since I'm not the original owner, but, if it does require it, replacing the Miyota 9039 shouldn't be too much of a hassle for any watch repair place that's worth a damn.

    Looks like 3 Everests all north of $1000 and a pile of make up sets.

    A bit of a random mish mash in my humble opinion.

    Just a thought, but as this eBay seller states he’d prefer to sell in SC but hasn’t achieved sufficient posts, would it be reasonable to allow him to reply here with a price which doesn’t include eBay fees, so that a deal could be achieved via PM?

    Might help the seller as well as a TZ forumite who doesn’t have the cat-like reflexes necessary to buy directly from Eddie?

    Exactly my thoughts. I would be happy to buy from a genuine seller.

    But then, the sales section has rules for a reason.

    Black Navigator just finished at £390, reserve not reached. The same seller has the cream dialled version finishing in about 12 minutes, currently on just over £200, reserve not reached either.

    That would have been a bargain! I dont remember to look at wtb that often, I should.
    I think if the vendor had pitched these a couple of hundred higher on buy it now's they'd have flown.

    The cream dial one finished at £475, past the reserve so its gone. He's put the black one back on, so guessing the reserve may be £400?

    And another:

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325838947...Bk9SR4SLq-LgYg

    What makes me chuckle is that a load of people are jumping on the Timefactors bandwagon trying to make a fast buck but the only model that seems to sell at profit is the Everest. Also when the Everest is not for sale the shop is open a lot longer. So there seems to be a group of people poised at 2pm on a Sunday to buy a watch hoping to double their money and possibly ending up with something they will make a loss on.

    I notice this is relisted with a lower price - still much higher than RRP.

    I was able to get an Aventurine one last Sunday. It was supposed to get to me yesterday but though it was in my city, UPS in its wisdom has put off delivery to this coming Tuesday (Monday is a holiday here)
