Same AD as the green Glashutte above just sent me this. It's beautiful but I can't take it seriously. Not the moon watch, you can't make a gold moon watch



Why not?

I liked the non-chronograph version of that watch so much better. I guess they discontinued it.
Guess I've never seen the non-chronograph version.

I'm not a chronograph guy, and I think this just looks clean.

Does anyone have a Seiko Cocktail Time? I saw this one in person today on a SS bracelet and it really caught my eye. Had a very Anordain-like face. I may go back and buy it.

What do you guys think about this one? The price is fairly decent for a solid gold piece, and I love the size and the detail on the globe

Maybe it's the lighting but it looks like a very warm white gold

(Beautiful though)

It is the lighting, it is rose gold

OMG. It's going to cost me $2,400 to fix my watch.

Make sure it's a licensed Rolex repair place. I'm not sure Rolex will touch a watch that's been repaired elsewhere if you need to have them work on it down the road.

I got in the modded gshock, and I cannot believe my eyes. The SS bracelet is indistinguishable from my AP RO bracelet, as in I can literally almost tell no difference. I *think* the polishing on the links might be better on the AP but I almost can't tell.

On the face you can definitely see the difference in machining and finishing but the bracelet is almost exactly the same.

Either way it's an incredibly fun value for a $550 watch.

nice...I have the rose gold version with the rubber blue strap.

The finish quality is excellent, besides the deployment, which is pretty chintzy.

Fun watch for sure.

Dammit. I've really been eyeing one of these. Your post isn't helping.

Do you mind sharing where you purchased that watch! It's fantastic.

Same guys that did mine. They've definitely classed up their website though.

Oh great, next time you're there punch Essee Emdad in the junk and tell him to start calling me for the stainless steel watches he gets in instead of the cellini's and solid gold women's datejusts

How are you folks selling your watches when you need to move them along? I have 3-4 watches to sell ranging from $250 to $2k in value. Where is the best place to list them? Ebay, Chrono24, and here are all considerations, but I wanted to get some advice first. Any other options I should consider?

Is listing for sale pieces in this thread frowned upon or no?

Watchuseek requires 100 posts before using their classifieds and I'm not at that level yet.

Yeah, not punching anyone in the junk for you.

I took it to the Woodlands store, not Memorial.

Haha that's where I go too. He has gotten me a few watches but nothing for a year or so, but to be fair I don't buy any jewelry or anything from them, just watches.

Chrono24 is great for browsing, but since they charge 6% and tax there's not a lot of incentive for people to give good pricing.

I would go on a posting spree on WUS as that post will get you on WatchRecon which is where many people browse. But yes here as well

I intend to get pictures taken this evening and posted along with more detailed descriptions.

1. Muhle Glashutte Sea-Timer BlackMotion. Box and papers. Was ordered with the same rubber strap and milled folding clasp as the Seebataillon GMT, instead of the sailcloth-type textile strap. Very comfortable to wear, sized for my 7-3/8" wrist, so could be made smaller. Ref. M1-41-83-CB. $1,850 shipped.
2. Ball Engineer M Marvelight. 43mm blue dial. NM2128C-S1C-BE. Tritium lume is incredible, 80 hour power reserve. Box, papers, extra links. $1,900 shipped.
3. Archimede Pilot 42 Automatik, white dial. 9.8mm thick. ETA 2824-2 movement. Box and papers. Leather strap is a 7 out of 10. $400 shipped.
4. Glycine Combat Iguana, pre-Invicta. Swiss made, ETA 955.112 quartz movement, only 6.5mm thick. Ref. 3854. Currently on a quality NATO, also comes with unworn factory black leather strap. $175 shipped.

I'm only including a few pics per watch to avoid cluttering up the thread. If you'd like more just PM me.

1. Muhle Glashutte Sea-Timer BlackMotion. Box and papers. Muhle modified SW 200-1 movement with their woodpecker regulation, displayed with a sapphire case back. 300m WR. 41 hour power reserve and great lume. Relatively thin for a diver at 12.5mm, it has a bi-directional bezel and is coated in titanium carbide. AR coating on the sapphire crystal is very effective, allowing the gloss vs. matte dial effect to show well. Was ordered with the same rubber strap and milled folding clasp as the Seebataillon GMT, instead of the sailcloth-type textile strap. Very comfortable to wear, sized for my 7-3/8" wrist, so could be made smaller. Due to the coating on the case and bezel, the only apparent wear is to the clasp. Ref. M1-41-83-CB. $1,850 shipped.



2. Ball Engineer M Marvelight. Ball's in-house movement RRM7309-C which is COSC certified and has a 80 power reserve and 28,800vph. Ref. NM2128C-S1C-BE. The case is 43mmx13.4mm. Screw down crown with 100m WR. Polished center links on the bracelet with polished sides, secured with a butterfly clasp. This is really a beautiful watch that punches way above its class, IMHO. And the history behind Ball adds some interest. Box, papers, extra links. $1,900 shipped.




3. Archimede Pilot 42 Automatik. The white dial has a subtle texture and the applied gloss black provides a lot more visual interest than you'd expect. I don't think the white dial version is available any longer. Only 9.8mm thick with curved lugs, it wears very nicely. Sapphire display back. ETA 2824-2 movement that has been remarkably accurate for me. Box and papers. Leather strap is a 7 out of 10. $400 shipped.
