Selling, Swapping or Wanted Watches & Timepieces *Please read rules in 1st post**

It is touchy because putting a seiko logo on a sterile face opens the door to ripping someone off if the seller is so inclined. I have zero issue if someone fully discloses ala the link above by furiousox. It's a free world.

The issue some have with homages is it undermines (in their minds) the high outlay for something which is quite possibly overpriced. Whats noteworthy and gas is they're usually blind to that notion when the homage is reassuringly expensive ala seiko themselves, tudor, hamilton, etc etc.

Seiko has most definitely had a drop in qc, sure the forums not populated by apologist fan boys are well aware. Had my mates new land tortoise on wrist lately and it's chapter ring was off kilter, it's 4r35 was +21seconds and the crown threads were gritty af also.

Unacceptable when my SD1970 at 1/4 the cost has perfect alignment and its seiko nh35 is +4 secs out the box with a perfectly executed crown. Factor in waaaay better lume in bgw9 and c3, a nicer acton and spec ceramic bezel and sapphire a coated instead of hardlex lol.

Calling that spec tat casts serious aspersions on Seiko lol. Its equivalent to a guy in a big fat benz complaining that a second hand mr2 with a turbo strapped to it is handing him his ass round the track:) It's not allowed because mine cost more!!

Reminds me of when honda started mopping up all the trophies in the Isle of Man. Suddenly the Japs were to be taken seriously.

The likes of San Martin/Steel Dive/Pagani are going to start employing designers in the very near future. Sure I suppose AI could probably spit out designs guaranteed to get us hot under in the collar in the very near future.

BTW, scwazrh, I have a homage of a tudor homage winging it's way to my wrist right now, how insestious is that for ya lol!

Nh34 seiko gmt under the bonnet and they improved the design by making it thinner and lighter than the bb Pro. Delighted so I will be:)

As it shouldn't. I was being just a touch facetious and whole heap good natured as it is funny, a homage of a homage. Well it is to me anyway.

I have collected many original Seikos and I'd love to see them on my kids wrists in the future. My tastes were almost entirely Seiko up until about ten yrs ago.

Regarding the emerging markets out of China they are largely all heavily leaning on homage or imitation or rip off, choose your weapons. I do predict them growing out of this and staking their own flag. Who knows, perhaps my san martin bb Pro will be like a high value early Honda cub in 40 years! Buy them now scwazrh, before they're all gone!!

Did you manage to sell your grand seiko?

I have a notion to sell everything and start again.

I have some great watches, but with little variety. So, I'm thinking of liquidating the lot and beginning afresh, perhaps ending up with just two watches. Maybe that's madness, but isn't this the nature of watch collecting - buy, try, keep/move on. (This is also what I do in other areas of life, so this may or may not turn out to be a good idea.)

I thought I'd test the waters here (I would rather not have to put a decent watch on Adverts again) and see if there is any interest.

I don't really follow market prices, or am at least sceptical about the prices I see asked for online, so there's no price for the moment, but I have never been greedy about what I ask for or get for a watch.

This is my Submariner 16610 from 2006, box and papers. More pics etc to follow if anyone turns out to be interested. Woman not included with watch.

Thinking of parting with my Scurfa Diver One.

Will put up on Adverts for €230 but of course better price for anyone here.

Scurfa Bracelet and rubber strap included.

These are older pics previously posted,but can post more if anyone interested

Same as link,but with bracelet

Hi all, I have a buyer on Chrono24 set up for watch sale. Can ask advice on what the best shipment method or courier to use? Fully covered for the value of the watch etc? Thank you.

I think you're absolutely right about the height thing. It's not an issue, especially if the watch is on a bracelet. If it's on a NATO you might notice it more as the springbars seem to be located quite low on the lugs, if that makes sense.

I used Chrono24 to sell a Cartier and a Breitling. In both cases I used an insured courier service that delivered within Europe (Spain and Hungary) the next day. Neither one was Rolex money, but the insurance covered the cost in both cases.

The feedback I got from the prompt delivery was worth :)

Hi Folks,

Eventually decided to sell my 1995 Rolex Submariner Steel and gold. It has served me well over the years but I think its time to move it on. It hasn't been worn a dozen times since it was last serviced in Keanes just before Covid. I had thought about keeping it and leaving it to the son but he has absolutely no interest in watches of any kind.... a waste.

I've moved on to a Sinn U1se as my daily wear and a few months down the road am very happy with it. Its on its own bracelet and beautifully balanced on the wrist.... don't notice the weight at all.

Put the Rolex up on Donedeal and Adverts yesterday to see what happens. Looked on Chrono24 to try judge a value for it.... not easy.

Got a call within 30min from a member of our ethnic minority who asked a few questions and offered to pay the asking price.... havent worked out the scam yet... but too good to be true unless I'm giving it away.

If ye have a few moments ye might explain the error of my ways or maybe even express an interest.

I wouldn’t try sell something like that on donedeal how do you vet a buyer ?

That one selling with the blue rubber b?

I didn’t think it was over priced.

I would run a mile though.

Why so?

You’re no fun..

Anything can be dodgy, I sold a watch for €500 about 2 months ago and was meeting the guy on the street and even that was worrying. They can easily run off with it or god knows what, it used to common with phones for sale, watches are a lot easier. Definitely be very wary. As nod2022 says, they can be fishing for your home address.

Gonna sell my Bulova Lunar Pilot PVD
