I could do with selling my BLNR - what's the best method? Do any dealers do SOR at a reasonable rate? Is Chrono24 any good/safe?

Mark Worthington in Wilmslow, probably 10-15% above anyone else.

Just sold my Daytona to them.

+1, i've sold a daytona, blnr and a sub to them, great to deal with

Sold mine via eBay on a £1 selling fee day. After a few idiot offers along with some genuine ones it turns out a watch dealer came over to view and bought it for cash. Lovely guy and it all turned out good for me.

This was around July this year and paid me £12k. I used it infrequently and really enjoyed owning it but the Apple Watch was always on my wrist and I started to get worried about wearing £12k worth of watch outside the house.
Very happy with my sale as I only paid £5.5k for it new back in 2014.

I did the same as this haha. I was always worrying about losing / breaking an expensive watch - ended up selling them and now wear apple watch for an easy life

BUT i wish i'd kept the BLNR as sold it for 7k now worth a few thousand more. Oh well. If that money was in funds in S&S isa would have risen by similar amount...

Just checked the values - these are now fetching 12-14k!

Sadly i stupidly sold my watches a while ago - at various points had BLNR, Kermit and a ceramic daytona

Looks like the above would have significantly outperformed an ISA over the period damn.
