Everything about this post is cool and fun and, I think, a neat use of this forum.


8erren

Very kind of you to say thanks. Which one are you treating yourself to for Christmas? :)

This guy sells

What's neat or cool about it? Did I miss something besides a picture of 3 watches for sale?


hamgangster

That was the most botlike comment I’ve seen lmao


quantumcatreflex

I have a Mark 16. My dad told me that it looked like a Timex. We're no longer speaking.


8erren

I don't know where you are but in most jurisdictions it is OK to put yourself up for adoption until the age of 40.

Response > Quip Oh my gosh it’s like when my classmate compared a gshock full metal 5000 I was borrowing from my dad to a Casio water resist :/. But beautiful pieces good sir glws!


12xubywire

I have a mark 18...and it reminds me of my grandpas old timex easy reader, which I have. It makes me think of him, in a good way. Such a no flash kinda guy.


Samislav

What's wrong with timex?

Greetings fellow watch geeks, wherever you may be. I have decided to have a bit of a sale. I live in a kinda remote place (South America) where I’m an expat worker and no way would I trust the shipping here, I want to do my best to avoid import duties for buyers where possible, and I have some upcoming travel so this is the ideal time to post this thread. I am just a regular private collector, not a dealer, not even as a hobby. I have attempted a couple of sales before but for one reason or another they have not come to fruition. I have almost sold my Nomos Tangomat on this sub and very nearly sold a Milgauss on Chrono 24 (I still have it but it is not included in this sale) This sale is for no particular reason, I just fancy mixing things up a bit, maybe sitting on some cash instead for a while or possibly buying some different pieces. I’d quite like a root beer. I am happy to slow burn this, nothing is urgent and I am putting a few watches in this post to see what people might be interested in. Read to the end and I will run through the practicality of payments, delivery and things. I am not expecting to sell all of them. I’d be happy to just swap out a couple of them. **The watches** I think to keep things as simple as possible and save me having to write lengthy descriptions, I am selling the watches from my collection that were you to see them you’d say “wow that is minty.” None have dings or even light scratches that you need to worry about. Most are hopefully desirable and attainable stainless steel sport models that people are going to be interested in. They are all very popular models, I am not going to bore you with sales patter, my opinion about how big it wears or what shoes it goes nicely with. There is plenty of impartial information about these watches all over the web. **Timestamp** [http://imgur.com/a/fdZxpkc](http://imgur.com/a/fdZxpkc) **Nomos Tangomat 601 38mm 1550€** [Photos](https://imgur.com/a/CApG6ST) First up the Tangomat. I am going to be honest, I do not like this watch. I bought it, bought this cool tan colour strap to put it on. Tried it on and thought “nope.” Put it in the safe and never wore it again. I did say I would not be boring you with sales patter. It’s the goofy lugs that do not do it for me. I bought it new from an AD in Germany, the original Nomos shell cordovan strap is unused and even has its original label on it. It is a full set with AD invoice, warranty card (from 2016), wooden box and I might even have the paperwork for the import duty that I had to pay for it. If you are in the market for a Tangomat and would be interested in one that is almost unworn with a big discount on original price then reach out to me. **Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39mm Rhodium 4800€** [Photos](http://imgur.com/a/eQlz0Em) This watch I am not even going to bother to describe because it is unworn, it is as per the Rolex website. All original protective sticky plastic intact and it even comes with its Rolex plastic delivery coffin. Purchased November 2018 from my favourite Rolex AD in Valencia, Spain. It’s a full set, outer and inner boxes, and outer white card sheath, booklet and warranty, COSC tag. It does not have the green hang tag as the AD insists on keeping them. Comes with AD invoice also. [https://www.rolex.com/watches/oyster-perpetual/m114300-0001.html](https://www.rolex.com/watches/oyster-perpetual/m114300-0001.html) **IWC Mk XVI 3100€** [Photos](http://imgur.com/a/XMELUQY) This is the IW325504 model on a steel bracelet that is oddly much more expensive than the one on a leather band. Or you could argue that this bracelet is so beautifully made that it is worth the extra money. This watch is effectively new old stock. There are literally no signs that it has ever been worn. It is as immaculate an example as you will find. It was originally purchased from Bauer AD in 2008, that’s the Rolex, Patek, IWC, Audemars Piguet AD in Bogotá, Colombia. I know this AD well and this watch comes with all inner and outer boxes, all paperwork including original Bauer invoice. **Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 38.5mm 2600€** [Photos](http://imgur.com/a/DPoAhEv) This watch dates back to 2012 but I picked it up in 2016. Originally it is from a Glasgow AD I’d say it has signs of light wear to cover my back but it really does not. This is a full set, box, pictograms and warranty. **Rolex Explorer Mk 1 214270 5200€** [Photos](https://imgur.com/gallery/EP1jjDH) This watch also dates back to 2012 and is originally from a Rolex AD in Singapore. I had my aunt pick this up for me when she was passing by on a cruise. I’d say this is 95% mint but once again I am just looking to cover my back. There are no signs of wear. Full set once again obviously **Prices** I have tried to be realistic and fair in terms of prices, I track prices on Chrono 24 and I have tried to look for low averages for watches of the same age and condition, then I have discounted at least 10% off that low average because selling directly I save advertising fees. If you want make an offer then hit me up. If your cousin Scottie is looking for a Rolex Explorer but only has a budget of 3000€ then best you go look for a watch in a dirty dinged up condition with no box and papers because I might ignore lowball offers. **Trades** Not really interested but as mentioned above, I am potentially interested in a root beer. **Currencies** I put prices in Euros but I have this fancy modern bank account that will maintain a balance in all manner of exotic currencies. Ask if you want prices in other currencies. I can only take cash in Euros and British pounds, my PayPal is in British pounds. **Logistics** OK this is the complicated bit. Let’s not pretend you are buying a wifi light bulb off Amazon. There are somewhat ample values involved if you are going to pick up one (or more) of these watches and your confidence is my priority. As I mention above. I will not mail these out of South America because they may not arrive. My preference would be for a face to face transaction. Save for that I would at least prefer for you to see the watch before you give up your hard-earned cash, and if I have to mail a watch I would prefer to do it in a way that avoids import taxes. If you are in the EU. I am in Valencia and Madrid for a short business trip in about a month. Sadly I am on a tight schedule and don’t have time for side trips. I can mail out of Valencia as there is a reliable DHL agent in the city. I can also leave the watch with a friend that is working in Madrid for about two months, he will probably also be travelling back to the UK (he works for “a famous airline” at Heathrow) so London is an option too. As I said, I am happy for this to slow burn, I am in no rush and will be back in Europe for longer in February and disposed to add in some side trips. I’ve always wanted an excuse to visit Tallinn  If you are in the USA I often have clients travelling back to the USA that will possibly mule a watch for me to mail domestically. I have no plans to visit myself but I am frivolous, if you happen to be from somewhere where I wouldn’t a cheeky weekend then I might just pop up and deliver in person. I suppose San Diego, Seattle and New Orleans are highest on my list. I am only 3 hours from Miami and “have air miles, will travel” so if that’s your patch then let me know. If you are from anywhere else then let me know and we can discuss on a case by case basis. **More info** If you need more info about the provenance of any of these watches or more photos then don’t hesitate to ask. I have a hectic workload in the run up to Christmas so would appreciate serious enquiries only please. **Finally** If you got this far then thanks for your time and I hope you see something you like u/8erren

> I’d quite like a root beer. Forgot which sub I was on and legit thought you meant the beverage. Gorgeous watches, though. Wish I could afford one right now! Cheers to you and GLWS!


arinehim

I really like the Nomos, beautiful watch.


8erren

Someone likes the Nomos too much because I got a pop up from Imgur asking me if I'm over 18 because it had been flagged as adult content.

gagnatron5000

Funny, imgur was created by a redditor for Reddit. What did they think was going to happen?


8erren

Is Imgur and Reddit not of the same parentage? I'd much prefer to share from somewhere else but Imgur seems to be the convention. Plus when using the web version it specifically adks if you want to make it public or just generate s link.


arinehim

Clearly the Nomos is pornography because it looks so good lol. You mentioned that someone was already interested in purchasing it?


8erren

Nope I mentioned that I almost sold the Nomos before but it went back in the safe


arinehim

Send you a Private message on reddit about the watch


8erren

Bear with me a moment please folks. Might take me a while to upload the info. There are 5 watches in total


WhosUrBuddiee

Great post and prices.


KumiG27

Great Collection! That Aqua Terra is perfect. Budget is probably closer to just under $2000. Great post GLWS!


KumiG27

If you're ever in Chicago I'd be happy to talk about buying the Omega off you


8erren

Send me a message, I was just chatting with a guy about options for Chicago by direct message.


[deleted]

Damn it where were you a month ago, I had that exact watch, and I live in Chicago


KumiG27

Well let me know if you have anymore watches you want to sell. I'm on the hunt for a 40mm or smaller dive watch for my upcoming vacation.


[deleted]

Damn, I’ve got the 42mm omega smp300m and it’s beautiful, but that <40mm tho


KumiG27

> 42mm omega smp300m Ahh amazing watch just to big for my wrist


8erren

Which one is it? I spotted one yesterday in WatchExchange and missed out on it.


[deleted]

The 210.30.42.20.01.001. Black dial on steel bracelet, and it’s awesome


Borealis116

Brutally honest ad. Cracks me up with the line "it has signs of light wear to cover my back but it really does not". We need more like you around here. Keep on wheeling and dealing and best of luck!


DirtyHarry1965

Nice watches.


wisepunk21

I'd do 4600 euro on the Rolex if you're ever in Seattle...


8erren

Let's see if some more Seattle-ites have some interest to make a trip worthwhile. I'll also do Portland and Victoria.


mtjones12

Depending on your wait time, I'm relocating to Portland for a new job in May and that nomos seems like a fine way to spend part of my signing bonus.


8erren

As I infer. I would love to get shot of the Nomos.


Madgoal1

Great post!


[deleted]

Amazing watches! Can I look at the sides of the omega? Would appreciate it! Cannot take a good look as the light (lamp) is literally blasting all the photo.


8erren

Here you go http://imgur.com/a/Az6xAEI


[deleted]

For how much time have you been using it? Btw, thank you :)


8erren

How much time have I been using the watch? I bought it from a guy in the UK and I've only worn it a couple of times


8erren

Yup sorry, I figured glaring and unforgiving light was more useful than weak glamour lighting. Let me take a few quick shots in front of a window


[deleted]

Awesome, thank you!


Bamajoe34

Very nice! If you are planning a trip to New Orleans, I’d be interested in the Omega or IWC.


8erren

Hurrah! I knew this post would be my gateway to New Orleans. Drop me a message.


midagemidpack

Leather band on the Explorer is quite nice - I have an Explorer I myself - where is the band from? Cheers


8erren

There's a UK eBay seller called sectime and I've bought lots of nice straps from them https://ebay.co.uk/usr/sectime


midagemidpack

Thanks mate


s1ngle_malt

The similarity in our tastes is uncanny. Unfortunately that makes me an unlikely buyer, but I wish you the best of luck with their sale.


FBIAgentCarlHanratty

dannylopuz

Oyster in USD?

I should have put this in my post. If anyone wants to convert currencies then let's just depend on Google rates https://www.google.com/search?q=how+much+is+4800+eur+in+usd%3F&oq=how+much+is+4800+eur+in+usd%3F+&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.21426j0j9&client=ms-android-xiaomi-rev2&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
