Not a For Sale ad so i'm not sure if I am contravening forum rules or not?

I bought myself a new watch when I was over in Australia in July. It is a Breil Logo, brown with brown and blue face like in the link:

http://www.rainerijewelers.com/designers/breil/ite...



I have decided I would like to change it and I am on the lookout for a Seiko Monster to replace it with - either black or orange face.

Would anyone who has a Monster be interested in a swap?

My watch comes with all paperwork, in it's original box and is in extremely good condition, I am obviously looking for a Monster of similar condition.

If anyone would be interested, please drop me an email to discuss.

Cheers guys,
Steven

I would be interested to see a watch swap / Trade post, I know there is the sales section and wouldnt want to see the forum become endless posts of offering this and that but would like to see one post remain open with the offered swap / trade posted and then ALL follow up discussions are taken as pm's, Wouldnt like to see lots of comments about pricing etc we can all research approx list prices of models stated, any possibilities ?

Following on I would consider a trade for my Vacheron Constantin Royal Oak Chrono Model no 49145, example pics can be found on chrono24 ( not mine but others ) I am looking for a Rolex Daytona or Milgauss Green or anything else interesting with funds going correct way.

no such thing as a Vacheron Constantin Royal Oak Chrono.

I think you mean "Royal Eagle"

Audemars Piguet do the Royal Oak...

You want to swap a $4-500ish watch for one that retails for less than $200 ?

I was considering starting a watch swap thread!

I have a couple of Tauchmeisters that I'm bored with and want to try other Tauchs/Aeromatics... anyone interested?

Update: After speaking to the Mrs about my intentions this evening, she was a little hurt by me wanting to swap this as she bought it for me whilst in Oz...so she said keep it, and buy yourself the new one you want anyway - win/win!

woohoo

Cheers guys,
Steven

Up for trade is my Vacheron Constantin Royal Eagle Chronograph.

I have had the watch for approx 3 months and purchased from a well respected member on another forum.

I think its such a beaufiful watch and by far the most expensive and probably best make I own but im getting these urges to have something new and cant keep on just spending and spending on watches to keep.

Most of my other watches have been either presents or have been purchased by me to mark something important so this is the only one that I dont have massive attatchment too.

This watch is fitted with an extremely high quality 37 jewel #11137 caliber self-winding Vacheron movement with 18 carat gold rotor and twin aperture date. This particular watch is fitted with a very striking white textured dial.

Stainless Steel Tonneau Shaped Case (37 x 40mm not including lugs), stainless steel brushed/polished bracelet, white textured dial with luminous hands and applied silver Arabic numerals, chronograph functions with large sweep second hand, 12 hour subdial at 9 o'clock, 30 minute subdial at 3 o'clock, small seconds subdial at 6 o'clock, double-window date calendar at 12 o'clock, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, water-resistant to 30 meters.

The watch is less than 22 months old and comes absolutely complete with inner and outer boxes (and cardboard outer sleeve), dealer warranty card, service booklet, beautiful leather Vacheron instruction manual, cleaning cloth.

The watch is currently sized to my very porky 7.3/4" wrists.

This watch would have cost over £10000 new and apart from some very slight wear marks with no dings , is looking and running like new. I am listing the watch for a trade at a value of £4,250

I would trade up or down with preferences being Rolex Daytona, Rolex Milguass Green, Breitling Crosswind Ref B13055 but would consider anything, I like what I like !

I would consider more than one watch to meet the value.

If anybody would like more photos please send me your email address and I will mail them to you

If you could email me photos of anything you are pushing forward for trade it would be appreciated.
