Some advice for a watch newbie with buyer’s remorse

Davidt · Dec 5, 2017

eBay may not be ideal (as you'll have to make sure the buyer is genuine and put safeguards in place) but what other option do you have? You can't sell on here as you're unknown (and even if you get permission, you may still be looking at +/-25% loss as you're an unknown seller and again, you have to be confident any buyer is genuine.

If you want to sell you should have returned to the seller as it's hassle free. Now this has expired, I'd keep it. If you're dead set on selling, I'd go with eBay but be careful.

chrono24 is another option. listing fees are a percentage of the requested price but not nearly as high as ebay. you can set up an escrow account that way both buyer and seller are safe.
i bought my speedmaster and sold my planet ocean there and both transaction were very smooth

good luck

PS. i would keep it and start searching for the next one

I say keep it and wear it when you wear short sleeves.

Don't sell is my advice. Put it on a nice leather strap and give it another week or two. Then put it on a NATO and give it another week or two.

That buckle on the bracelet is the issue for getting under a shirt cuff and being cumbersome , not the watch. 😗

I'd second the above. I have a Seamaster, and never really liked it much on a bracelet. On a Bond NATO however, 🥰 I also bought a simple black rubber strap that it looks great on. Google your watch name and "strap" then use image search and see what takes your fancy. An investment of a few bucks in a strap could well transform how you feel about the watch. Find a look you like, add a deployant and it's another watch.

Consider short sleeved shirts.

Consider having a shirt made or altered with a little more room in the appropriate sleeve 😀

Get it on here for sale with permission. Should sell although sales are fairly slow I think at the moment across forums. Xmas round the corner you never know.
