Which UK forums for buying and selling privately?

[minimoog]

I'm looking for an SMP 2254.50 as my first decent watch. Are there any UK watch forums with classifieds I should be looking at other than TZ-UK?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks both. Watchuseek seemed to be mostly non-UK sellers who'll only ship 'con US',

edit: the Con US-only BNIB 2254.50 currently on there being an agonising case in point

but I'll keep an eye on there. Will also check out thewatchforum.

Cheers.

The OP asked for UK fora

In which case he's got his blinkers on.

Seriously, get onto Watchuseek and up your post count a bit. Then head over to the private sellers bit.

Ignore the ones saying Conus only, I'm going to generalise here, but our US cousins have no idea of anything outside their borders. As soon as the see you're in England they'll rip your arm off as long as you cover the additional postage. I guess they're just scared of posting to Italy, Africa or whichever country they are at war with this week.

There are some absolute bargains, they are all desperate flippers and are selling watches to pay for the next one they've already bought.

The sales bit is fast moving, find something you like, bookmark it and have a look in a few days, if it's not shifted, bid them in the peas and they'll bite.

Interesting info, thanks. Not sure I'm comfortable with 'blinkered', but I take your point.
