Type 1 Lotus Chronograph Watch (Elise, Evora, Etc.) RARE In house designed

This Lotus Cars Type 1 Chronograph watch is a must-have for any Lotus owner or watch enthusiast. With its sleek design and advanced features, it's sure to impress.

This is the first watch ever designed in-house by Lotus Cars (not to be confused with Lotus Watches), it takes design cues from the Lotus Elise.
The watch has a chronograph feature, which allows you to keep track of time with precision.

This is a watch I searched for years for and a good one was hard to find. Like so many of these, the original rubber strap has long since deteriorated, but I had a custom strap made to fit the style of the watch (steveostraps) with matching coloured threads, it's a very comfortable piece to wear.

In my experience, most of these now don't have the orange anodised cover, or are covered in scratches/bashed about. As I've tried to illustrate on mine, there are some minor scratches near on the side and some marks on the rear cover, but otherwise it is very rare to find one in this condition. It comes with the original box, cushion and leaflets, again all in good order.

I am only selling this watch after owning it for several years to put the money towards another timepiece. I'm well aware what others have sold for previously (Last one went in poor condition for £680, damaged, no strap) but I will not let this go unless I achieve what I need otherwise I will happily hang on to it. Try and find another!

Now Sold.

I am thinking of selling my Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Chronograph Mecaquartz. Has anyone used Chrono24 to sell a watch? They seem to have two ways to sell, 'Sell it yourself' which I guess is like eBay the other they say will 'Sell it For You' and get various offers in 3 days. Anyone used this and if so how does it work, any feedback?
In the end I decided to put it on eBay, their watch selling process seems very professional these days.

Full description on my eBay listing but as i say on there, it is a Mecaquartz movement and at 34mm smaller by modern standards but I reckon it would make a lovely ladies watch, especially with the tan alligator strap, now women wear larger sized watches.

Rich, it's ostrich leather no? Like in the early Zonda?? The tan I mean.

Lovely watch. The caseback is a beauty.

Yes, you are correct Ostrich. Don't know why I put alligator...

Panerai Luminor GMT PAM00088 Full set.

20241115_135537 by Simon Gee, on Flickr

Another that is being booted out of the watch box from lack of use is a full set Panerai Luminor GMT 0088, sold new in Aberdeen in 2015. I bought it in 2020 from a dealer in Denmark, it had been recently serviced but I have no paperwork to prove it. Being from nearly the end of production, the watch has the Panerai quick-release strap system which can be seen on the 2 and 5 o’clock lugs. The watch is on its original Panerai leather strap & deployant and has plenty of life remaining, along with a possibly unused Panerai rubber strap fitted with a second Panerai deployant. Also included is a new aftermarket Panerai bracelet which I never fitted. I usually prefer bracelets but this watch, on its high quality thin non tapered strap, was spot on.

It runs solidly and within COSC at -3 sec/day and is in excellent condition with only a few minor hairline marks as you might expect on such a highly polished case. There are no dents or deep scratches. Most of the hairlines are on the bezel. The watch is 44mm and looks great on the wrist. It wears smaller due to the lovely case shape and strap.

Specifications:
Model: PAM00088
Range: Luminor GMT
Movement: Automatic
Case Material: Stainless Steel
Case Size: 44mm
Dial: Black with Luminescent hands and hour markers, date feature, small seconds
Crystal: Scratch Resistant Sapphire
Bracelet: Stainless Steel and leather
Water Resistance: 300 m / 30 ATM

Included with the watch are:

Outer cardboard box
Inner box and quality wood box
Panerai booklets , COSC certificate and warranty card
Panerai tools
Panerai rubber strap with a second Panerai deployant
Aftermarket Panera bracelet correct style for watch

A great buy at £3,695, easily the cheapest in the UK. Price includes RMSD & Sercusus insurance.

Thanks.
Simon

You probably do, Baron. The 0088 is a great way into Panerai.

For Sale - Sinn 103 A Sa B Limited Edition (346/500) - ref 103.061

Purchased new by me in 2015 from Page and Cooper, along with the deployant clasp, and the later addition of the bracelet seen in the photos.

Have enjoyed this watch but it has sat unworn for too long so I’m looking to sell and possibly put the money into my Mini project. The colour scheme is gorgeous and the sunburst dial really catches the light, which is the main reason I bought it, having not owned a Sinn before then.

Complete set with unused leather and NATO straps, tool, spring bars. Boxed, all papers, and can provide photos of the registration card and copies of the purchase emails if required to verify the watch / me. Also happy to provide additional photos or answer any questions you might have. The watch is in excellent condition with only some minor signs of wear in the bracelet, but no damage to the crystal or bezel.

Based on the few occasions I’ve seen these pop up on Chrono 24 I’m looking for GBP3,250 ovno plus insured postage.

Full specification here - https://www.sinn.de/en/watches/103-a-sa-b.html

Photos:















Price amended to £2,600 OVNO plus postage / delivery.

Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I am selling my grand seiko sbgh201g.

I purchased it new from AMJ watches in July 2021 and have the original sale invoice. I also have the box and papers, which have been stored away and are in perfect condition.

With regard to the watch itself, I would say it is in very good condition, with no 'proper' scratches or marks. I have worn the watch pretty much only for work in the office since purchase, so typically 2-3 days a week under a shirt cuff. There are therefore of course a number of very small scuffs and light marks through general wear, as can be seen in the photos.

I'm looking for offers near £2.8k. Thanks
