Seiko Spork pricing....

[Beta2]

Hi All,

As the title suggests, I'm trying to get a gauge on the going rate for a Spork as I may be culling a few watches. This one in particular is as new, unworn and unblemished. Full set of course.

I can see some on eBay with varying price tags but thought Id ask the forum for their take on it.

Thanks.

I think around the £400 mark would be a fair price. At £350 I imagine it wold sell instantly. It's a great watch and so comfy you don't even notice it on the wrist. you don't see many around either.

If its a full set and mint condition id say 6 to 700

Always a tough one to work out the current market value

I'm a bit torn with the looks of it, that's probably why its unworn. On one hand I love the clean and simple look but on the other I think its a little too industrial looking for my taste.

I think the short production run and the only other similar watch being the Sinn 857 drives the prices on the Spork.

Its certainly one of the rarer Seiko divers.

A minter in the box is going to be worth £700 - £800 to a collector as long as you're patient enough to wait. Quick sale, £600 would sell it immediately. I still reckon good ones will soon reach a grand though after seeing what sort of condition most are in.
A rough one is £400+. Even a "spares or repairs" will clear 300 quid easily. They don't come up often and the only ones on ebay are either a bit ropey or miles overpriced.

You're completely correct about the eBay offerings. Either well used or crazily overpriced. I've read a few forums elsewhere which tend to agree with your outlook on the future price, still cant quite believe it!

They never really caught my eye until now but I’m beginning to see why they’re achieving near cult status.
