    No, no definitely not good. Nobody else should bid on that one.

    A cool Cronel in the UK with a linen dial and cross hairs. Very 70s so you'd need to embrace it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/164272779953Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    No bids at $586. The new auction has a starting price of $554. Just a horrible sales tactic. I absolutely believe that watch is worth more than $586, and someone should have sniped it, so it seems to me that buyers have just become skeptical of the watch because of the multiple auctions. It's worse than stale, it's poisoned.

    I think this is what many sellers (not just on eBay) don't seem to get- you list it once and price it to move. Don't relist it (unless non-payment of course), or bump it multiple times- the market has spoken. In the attempt to squeeze every last penny out of it- he lost hundreds

    I bought this watch after a sequence exactly like this, where it had been through many auctions with no bids, dropping by $100 each time. I watched it week after week, and finally just sniped it at the opening bid. It's a fantastic watch, not a thing wrong with it. And I got it for at least 25% below market value.

    Yes it's madness.
    I have tried to buy it more than once like others.
    Makes me very suspicious

    Hamilton USA made CLD Nordon. If you don't know about these watches, look up the CLD line - these were quite special in the late 40's. Small at 30mm but if you go for smaller watches, these are exceptional. This one looks all there and the dial appears excellent. They have a special gasket system that tends to rot out so make sure you know where to get the correct seals for these.

    Yeah, I saw that one and was tempted to put it up, price is a little high for a Benrus as we think of them, but honestly- how often do we see one like this!

    This is on Chrono24 for £506 and free shipping to the UK. I don’t think it’s a bad price for a reasonable watch. Let me know if anyone goes for it - not buying myself, just interested.

    This is an eLady Japan watch. I saw it when it was posted yesterday on eLady's site and initially got excited as I've been looking for a 166.010 Seamaster chronometer. Until I looked a little closer and saw the lettering. Looks very wrong to me. Also, the 'S' in Seamaster looks off. Poor redial in my estimation. That said, price is low for sure...
