Finally able to send links

Guys selling a mint condition Tudor BB58 925 silver . It’s like new and comes with a vanguard rubber strap which cost me 130 euro . Will sell for 3300 if anyone is interested. Good price considering it got a price increase to 4610 in Jan .

That's a nice looking watch. Good luck with sale.

if anyone is interested

There's a beautiful Sinn SZ01 on adverts:

There's a picture of the caseback with the claim:

"1st automatic chronograph in space"

This refers to a 140 model that flew on a mission in 1985. However, this ignores the fact that a Seiko 6139 automatic chrono flew on the Skylab IV mission in 1973.

Why would it make such a grandiose claim, I wonder?

@Lorddrakul - "Why would it make such a grandiose claim, I wonder?"

Inferiority complex. Hoping this dodgy claim gets more watches sold, taking away attention from the fact that the watch itself isn't all that desirable. Has been working great for Omega for many years

Due to my (not always strictly adhered to) policy of one-in, one-out, I'm going to put my Rolex Explorer 124270 up for sale. It is a 2022 model, with full box, papers, etc. It is the finest of a watch, but now replaced by something else. More pics available.

It is indeed.

I also have a polar Explorer II 16570 from around 1999. The rare "SWISS" only dial. Box, but no papers. But obviously if you like you can have the watch verified before you buy. I love that watch. I think it's a gem, and it's super value for money for a sports Rolex. It's underrated. It feels too small for me too wear at 40mm with a 7.5-8mm wrist now that I'm used to much bigger watches. Was going to keep it as an investment but could do with raising cash, although now is not a good time to sell luxury watches. But a good time to buy one and I have my eye on an expensive one 😎

Any interest in that?

It's not advertised anywhere yet. And I'm not selling it either, unless I have a deal done on that other watch (hint: big hitter Rolex), but then I will have to raise cash quickly. Will update here if there are any changes.

Sure. I checked a few weeks ago, maybe prices are now different, so will need to check again, but this is what I usually do. I only look at watches in the EU. Then I only look at the cheapest one. I disregard any more expensive ones. The cheapest I could find with "SWISS" only dial but no box and no papers was €8k and the cheapest I could find with box and papers was €9k. So I guess a fair price would be somewhere in between

This same model? Dealer Italy. Assume 6.5 would buy it if you contacted outside c24 (subject to dealer checks etc).

Just checked and the cheapest now no box, no papers is a private sale in Italy for €7700 + shipping

cheapest with box and papers is dealer from Lithuania €8500 + shipping

I can do €7700 for mine

i will explain to you again.

if the bottom price is a dealer On c24 (which it usually is) then I mean I need a private sale to be 20 percent cheaper to make sense to take that risk associated with a private sale. From that bottom price on c24 the dealer will take 5-10 percent off at least (thoug you will likely have to deal outside c24, no issue for a brick and mortar store though or someone with a big reputation)

And the then why buy private at that same price when I can maintain provenance by buying from a dealer?

So to me a private sale needs to be 20 percent less than the fantasy land c24.

Cheapest one is a private sale from Italy as I showed you. No box, no papers. Mine has box and is cheaper than that taking shipping into account. And you all know that buying from me in here is as good as buying from a dealer. I'll pay for Dawson's to verify the watch in the presence of both seller and buyer if buyer meets my asking price.
