Extremely excited to start designing mine.

I dunno, but that dial is a mess to me. Maybe it looks better in real life.

I wondered where my shoes went

Sometimes a new strap (even a cheap one) makes it a new watch. Gas station wristie.

Been enjoying this recent addition this week.

That's a beauty! Also a very interesting piece. I noticed the Arabic numerals and indices are placed differently than on the recent Prive pieces. On the "Standard version" that was recently offered it is the even numbers that were done in Arabic numerals, but yours has all of the odd numbers. Did you commission this piece, or was it part of a series for a specific market?

It'll do for the beach.

I’ve heard eBay take about 15% commission

Not anymore, at least in Europe.

Last time I sold a watch on eBay here is the States it was a 15% commission which I think drops in half if the watch sells for over 10k

Anyone have experience selling a watch on Chrono24? Commission of 6.5% seems reasonable compared especially to ebay. I've bought via the platform before and think the escrow process will give piece of mind vs listing on a forum like Reddit or Watchuseek. How soon are you expected to ship once a buyer confirms? I took photos of 2 watches today and will be going out of town for a week, back home for one night, them out of town for another week. Wondering whether I should just wait until travel is complete before listing. Any other thoughts or things I should know as a seller?

What kind of watch and have you sent pix and prices to some of the usual gray dealers to see what they might offer you for it?

An acquaintance said he has tried them in the past. He said unless its a very popular brand, and even then sometimes, it's largely a lot of tire kickers with no intention of buying. This person works in the industry and writes for watch publications.

Yes, I think it really depends on the brand/types of watches. Watchuseek can definitely maximize your take, but is not without risk. Ebay to me is a place of last resort or where maximizing dollars back isn't a priority.

I'm usually all for YG with champagne dials, but I'm not really digging it on Wei's CdV. The alternative dial looks much better.

Nothing rare or super high value--an Oris. Would only be expecting around $2k at most. It's really an entry level watch, and not something I'd expect many places to be particularly interested in.

Forums or trading it into a dealer against something else are probably the best use of your time/resources with an Oris.

Been awhile since my last post... but I just got my 5167a back from being serviced. Took them just about 3 months. Patek threw in this very nice leather case as well.

As always, I am enjoying everyone's Wrist shots. Very soon I'll be in the market for another piece... Last year of paying for 2 college tuitions to elite private schools in Boston and Philly. Yay!!!
