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

Any interest in my 126660 James Cameron? First owner a minor Irish celebrity and professional saturation diver (he didn't use my watch for that as he already had a 116660 Cameron), I bought directly from him pretty much exactly 3 years ago.

Full set from 2019, so another year Rolex warranty left. One identical to mine sold last week on adverts for €15.5k, which was strong money (these days). Looking for a more sensible €14.5k myself. The watch is not advertised anywhere yet. PM me if interested.

Unfortunately, adverts.ie now remove sold ads. Which is a complete pain as it removes a useful reference. It sounded a bit optimistic to me, but appears legit, I was in contact with a prospective buyer who missed out, but subsequently got one brand new from the AD!

List is €14,670 now, so must be the first year that you can get one second hand below list. Apart from the earlier 116660 model though with the small lugs, which is a few grand cheaper.

Google "126660 James Cameron adverts" and it's the first hit.

If I try share the link it just goes to Adverts home but Google the above and you can view the sold ad.

I think sold ads remain viewable in the sellers histories through the app (not on the website).

The days of Rolex being as good as liquid cash are over unless your willing to take a hit on the price.I was looking at trading my 41mm Wimbledon DJ and 41mm OP towards a Pepsi.I was offered €15k for the two .You wouldn’t want to need cash in a hurry out of a watch.

Current prices are 10600 for date just and €6500 for OP so €17k , which is what I was expecting.Pepsi are still €19k ish and even if I got the €17k I’m not sure if the Pepsi is worth it .But I’ve been yapping about a Pepsi since they were at €15k and now the talk of them being discontinued has me a bit more eager to move on one.

One on TZ today for £11000 , obviously uk postage hassle applies but if I was interested in one a cheap flight across and a f2f would be the way to go .€14500 looks optimistic Unkle

I disagree, only the Steinhart divers sell fast but not their other models

Ah of course it is. I'm not under pressure, so no need for any fire sale on my side. Haven't even bothered to put up any ads. Pretty bad for people who are selling though. If they bought Rolex sport in the last 3 years or so, they will likely lose money.

You'd do well I'd say. I picked up a lovely Goldeneye full-size example few years ago for 1450. Box with papers. I think you'd be looking at north of that now. The mid size doesn't seem to go much cheaper. Probably rarer as less would have been sold

Good you’ve no pressure, the seller of the one on TZ seems to be eager to move , he’s dropping the price by the day.

A terrible sales tactic really and will invite bids far lower as he looks desperate.

Market is becoming a self fulfilling one. Drops drive more drops, why buy now when it will be cheaper next month.

Same as 3 years, buy today as it will be more in a months time, which drove prices higher.

To quote one YouTuber from a few years back “tomorrows price is not todays price” (or was it todays price is not tomorrows price”.)

Its gone full circle and the statement is still true. When you consider the back drop of inflation in general and the massive price hikes in RRP that used prices are still softening tells its own story.

Hope the arse falls out of fully personally.

A JC is a unique type of watch though , for most people looking for a sports model it’s too big. I don’t think it’s a great representation of Rolex current 2nd hand prices .Stick a op up at a grand over retail and it would most likely move quick enough. But… the least desirable watches are getting hit first and I reckon the more desirable will go the same soon enough.

i still think Tudor is a bit of a barometer for Rolex even now , all tudors are available now and some with discounts. Not long ago a lot of them were waitlists , Rolex will be the same soon enough

Very strong. But some lads value stickers. Maybe he is planning on keeping 20 years. And a dealer sale (if you count them lads as dealers, I don’t really as I think they would run for the hills in light of a real issue).

You are usually lucky with selling so which you well.

who was the seller?

My Sumo Hulk still available.
