Milnzo Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Any suggestions for sites to use when selling a watch. I've got a speedmaster that I no longer want/could use the cash more wisely. Only bought it in December last year, so still under warranty with box and papers. I'm such an easy mark when it comes to face to face haggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you do, don't go near ebay. chrono 24 is reputable, find out the exact model of your watch (there's tons of different speedies) and check on there what they are going for, that's your price. (don't know what their commission is) All the best, it's a nice piece. Edited June 30, 2019 by Bigmouth Strikes Again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milnzo Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Chrono 24 was the first Google result so think I'll go with that. Think commission is 6.5%(max 300). Its a limited piece so should be easy enough to find. Cheers Bigmouth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint dave Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 This arrived from Moscow reasonably quickly. As others have noted the strap is a pile of crap , what do you guys recommend to replace it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefybake Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Casio W-217, about £10 bought new on eBay, taking care to avoid the numerous fakes. Citizen Eco-Drive, s/h on eBay, won for £40. New, around £150 - £200 , I think. 10 year battery on the Casio, solar on the Citizen. No more faffing around with new batteries every 6 or 12 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverton End Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 £20 Casio. Mine tells me what lunar phase the moon is in & also shows high tide. Ideal for when I am out on my sloop of a weekend 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strapcode make really good straps/ bracelets but then the strap would be worth more than the watch I would just put it on a nato.
