About 40% ebay
25% dealers
25% other watch forums I no longer frequent
The Balance via OF

I don’t really but from eBay anymore- to much time needed, too little joy to be found

Excluding my handful of modern Seiko/Swatch watches I’d say my collection is broadly:

EBay 65%
Auction houses 25%
Instagram 5%
OF 5%
Dealers 0%

Quite different depending on brand (Omega and Seiko mostly)

Omega/Swiss:
OF - .62 (17)
EB- .21 (6)
Inherit- .07 (2)
AD- .035 (1)
Auct- .035 (1)
Dealer: .035 (1)

Seiko:
IG- .84. (3 dealers incl IG auction site)
EB- .065
Chrono- .03
AD- .065



For watches I have sold, 50% bought on EB and 50% bought on IG. Fewer EB purchases still in collection, no surprise.
