Where do you sell your high value watches?

[Futureologist]

For reasons I dont even know, I am putting pressure on myself to sell 1 or 2 of my watches.
Both are Automatics, boxed, papers and in 9/10 condition (in my own fussy opinion).

- 2006 Omega Seamaster PO/Bracelet/Orange Bezel
- 2011 U-Boat Flightdeck 43 Steel Bezel/black case/leather

I acknowledge the benefit of a quick sale to dedicated watch traders/resellers but refuse to 'lose' so much money on these items.

I had considered Ebay, but dislike it due to high fees and timewasters - plus I have heard some horror stories.

Basically, where do all you guys flip high value watches in a high traffic/well reputed marketplace to like minded indviduals?

Pistonheads has a classifieds for watches.

I have sold on ebay without issue. Serious buyers have emailed questions and then we have done the deal usually by meeting. You could use it as a shop window by putting a high starting price and word the listing to invite people to send offers by email or phone

I mostly buy & sell on TZ-UK, but you can't join up just to use the place as a free sales medium.

If you bought the U-boat new you'll take a hit on that in any case.

Op ,

I'm also in Hampshire and would be interested in seeing photos of the 2006 Omega and an idea of how much you want from it.

On a side note I bought a Omega Seamaster from the pistonheads classifieds a couple of years ago , took it in for a service a year later and then found out it was a fake !! ( albeit a very good one ).

Original seller never returned emails after that !

Cheers,
Nick

Ouch....

You really have to know what you're doing on eBay and even, sadly, on here....

Yes, bought brand new from Jura Watches in May iirc. I know I will lose probably a disproportiante amount on the U-Boat although the Omega should hold up alot better.

I'd also be interested in the Omega, there are a fair few in the 'used watch' market but all with resellers, would rather buy one without the dealer premium, PM me if you have an idea of what you want for it.

Is it steel or rubber braceleted ?

Friend of mine has a 2009 Seamaster Americas Cup Chrono for sale with all paperwork/receipts. He lives in Mudeford, near Christchurch, Dorset....so far he's been offered between £700-£1200 from stupid/normal dealers.... he's open to bids, but in no rush...as he's aware what they go for 2nd hand from dealers etc...
I've offered ot put it up in PH classifieds, but he idn't seem that keen... anyway the right price gets it...PM for more if you like, don't want to hijack.

How much would you want for the U-Boat? PM me!
