Used watches to sell

[VMLondon]

Hi,

where would be the best place to sell used watches? I have sold the ones with papers and boxes no issues to traders, but I have 2 remaining that dont have them (one putchased without, and one lost)

Basically they are not really expensive watches, but nice ones, one is a Tag Heuer Monza WR2110 (Classic, wr2110.fc6164) non original strap, I put the original black croc in the box and lost it

Second up is an Intruder, 1999 year, large overhaul at Brietling in 09, and is in fantastic condition, apart from the LCD screen no longer works and Breitling say it is not a part they stock anymore, but otherwise works a treat and still tooks great after all these years! This was purchased second hand, and came with no box and papers, but I did check at time of purchase if it was on the lost/stolen register with Breitling, and it has since been to Swiss for work.


So, how much are these worth, and where is a decent place to sell honest watches, but lacking the box and papers?



Many thanks

Well, you could always put a thinly disguised ad on a forum that does not allow them....

But probably better to try the classifieds, or give up and put them on eBay.

There's also TZ, thewatchforum and the like, but you'll have to be a member for a while before you can post items for sale.

Honestly, if someone who reads this wants them, I'd be suprised, but I really do welcome advice on pricing.

Thank you for the TZ, thewatchforum ect, I didn't know of their existance!

I wanted to avoid ebay, anything I sell (or try to sell) on that bloody site is always hassle with fake bids/buyers ect.

I also didnt realise there were a classifieds section here for watches! I thought it was only cars.


Off to PH classifieds now


ANY advice on pricing would be really apprecieated



Thank you

That is annoying (re the part not working, not replaceable). Wouldn't know how to price that. I've seen Plutons go for about £500 (working) IIRC, which looks like they're related watches according to some info I've read. One with a non-working LCD... maybe £250?

There's a guy called Sonyboy on TZ-Uk who seems to be a bit of a Breitling fan and has sold Plutons in the past, some of which he's had overhauled by someone other than Breitling (again IIRC!).

Thank you, I will have a look once I manage to sign up to their forum. Feedback on other watch forums RE breitling is its not worth much, so really not worth selling. Blessing in disguise as I do like the watch, and for what you get them for (when they come up) its great value.


So what is a Tag Heuer worth without its box and papers? 20% less? 50% less?


Thanks

[Hoofy]

Mm. I'd be tempted to just keep it. As for the Tag, don't know enough about them but expect 50% off as it isn't a Rolex or Panerai (which hold their values best).

The Monza wr2110.fc6164 had a RRP of £1275.00, so I'd say around £600 would be a fair price with missing boxes and papers. Although it also depends on the overall condition of the watch; Are there any marks/dings? I might be wrong though ... See what others think

[Miguel Alvarez]

There were was a Monza on TZ (from memory) for about the £7/800 mark. Whether it sold for that I couldn't say.

[VMLondon]

Thanks for the valuations guys.

The watch has really minor surface scratches on the metal, glass is perfect. No dents or un-polishable marks. The overall consus I am getting is 7-800 is where the money is... Wether this translates to a sale we shall see.
