Valuation

Hey folks how do you guys go about valuing old watches ? As in have looked on eBay and WUS and the price range seems huge.

As such hard to know where to pitch the watch which is an old omega De ville

Re: New Arrival & First Bremont Experience

Like that a lot... Been looking for a white dial. The recent cwl models have drawn me but that will also be worth a look!

Re: Watches in bed

Never in bed... No point for me. I like a lume watch on the bedside but tend to agree with most folks here re selection in the morning etc. Plus I have so many I mainly need to wind up first thing !

Re: Furlan Marri

Not enough close ups of the watch ! Video was 90% guff with a few glimpses!
I agree though looks like a good piece but I know I'd never wear it as too dressy for me

Re: CW customer service vs Gnonom

I tried to get replacement bracelet pins for a watch under warranty from gnomn. And it was like pulling teeth. Cwl never any issues for me but I haven't had to deal with them as much recently .

Re: eBay watch buying experiences

Always buy the seller
I sold a steinhart recently ish but would only do collection in a covid safe way etc due to value and risk. Also makes sure they are happy with it.

Not sure I would do A 500+ transaction in the post...

Old skool original logo

Rarely worn these days... Always surprises me the heft of it. Weighty piece. My first serious watch and first auto. And interestingly my only valjoux 7750 (from memory)

Re: Next stop after Trident?

I never really got the dive watch thing. Then the bug bit and now I am 80% divers !

I just rarely find myself wearing my omega dress watch - in fact can't even remember when I last wore it !

Re: Time to Find Watches

An interesting selling model for the AD crowd, as it will help them move the lesser demanded pieces but for those hot items there is often a wait list and there is the MSRP which would cap the AD margin. The wait list model for Rolex is so frustrating. I'm not really sure who benefits - I don't get...

Re: Tax/Customs question when buying from NY
