Guys, I know it is not an ebay but allegro, but I found two nice looking watches. You think it is a good deal?

how much is the old one in $ ? kind regards. achim

 

The exchange rate is about 5 zlotys to the £, so that would be about 3.3 to the $ - so roughly $900

 

Yeah, the old one is 900 $

 

Who of you guys bought it?

 

But was the dial original?

 

That's true.

 

Something that strikes me is that normally there are at least twice as many "guests" on the Forum as there are members. I reckon these are the anonymous vultures who are hovering around, waiting for one of us to find them a nice juicy target. So if you have found something you really fancy - don't post a link to it!

Some of those guests don't play in the same league as the regulars here. The idea of spending over $1000 for an unshiny old watch repulses them. I'd bet many of them wouldn't even consider spending $5000 to $15000 and up for an old beater when you could have a brand new version for less (id: Speedmaster). I bet we're comedic gold to the ones who don't get this hobby.

 

Yes, but then -

This was not the work of a first-time buyer, my friends

 

Oh, no doubt there are a couple of experienced antique & vintage buyers using this place for inside information. If you think about it, they might not even be watch collectors, just savvy shoppers who do their homework and more when looking to pick up a nice vintage anything.

 

Realistically, the things that are worth buying at a "good price" don't stick around long enough anyways.. Let alone to create a post about.. This was an exception, I guess.

 

Damn... I really liked that one. It was on sale for over a week and went sold after the post with the price in USD
