Wishful Thinking - Watches that have unrealistic price expectations

prontoprint · Mar 29, 2019

Small shop that has a lot of watches in it, seems new set up . Have found them on Ebay but that watch is showing a slightly different price

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Co...722548?hash=item1ef6eca434:g:vE8AAOSw6xVcjY6d

Also has some overpriced Speedmasters - 1974 one at £4994 and a "Jedi" at £3649 !!!

EDIT - S Rodwell & Sons from Blantyre are shop owners, website company under name time2timepiece

EDIT 2 - Just seen the link I posted here has already been mentioned on last page !!

Possibly one of the rarest dial configurations for this model, but still i think EUR 1.2k might still be on the high end

Looking in window of new 2nd hand shop in Argyll Arcade , Glasgow. Not sure if that's worth the asking price , maybe get the spelling right would be a start !!

You see that kind of sloppiness all over the place, and in this context it just makes me think, "If they're sloppy about that, what else are they sloppy about? Provenance? Servicing (if any has been done)? Money laundering?" Maybe not, but the suspicion wells up in your mind. It's just damaging their own reputation for the sake of a couple of minutes checking something.

Some of these are unreal. the Rolex asking prices seem way out of touch with reality.

I might be missing something but 90k for a basic sub? No box no papers. 😕

12.000 usd for a glass and sand and some gourmet explanations

Please correct me if i am wrong. Are these that rare?

Staring to wonder if the official Omega pricing for the Spacemaster Z-33 falls into this category. I see it on sale quite a bit online and passing through Frankfurt today saw it on sale at Christ in the airport for EUR 3,500.

Wishful thinking priced. And with that Warranty card

The “seahorse” on the back adds $2.1k in value to this one apparently

This qualifies. I wouldn't pay $5975 for a stainless steel Constellation, and certainly not after you remove the explosive material! That's the most valuable part of the Constellation! ::stirthepot::

That watch should be featured in the new Bond film-Dr. Con

From Theo and Harris:

$1,715

and

$1,415

People have been saying for a while that watches in good condition are increasingly hard to find, but this is ridiculous🤨

The addition of the Turler store name seems to be the Hodinkee of the last century.
