I guess it's my turn to stop lurking and post here. This hobby is truly addicting…. I bought a Speedmaster back in November to celebrate a new job, that was my first nice, high end watch. Since one is never enough, I picked up a Tudor Pelagos last week, really love it….

Why did you decide you needed a diver to compliment your speedy?

It just spoke to me I guess. I wanted something I could swim in and was pretty set on a white dial Seamaster, but I ended up liking the way this wore much better. I'm still on the hunt for a white dial, just haven't found the right one yet….

Gang: I'd like to move a couple of my pieces to make room for something else. I still like these a lot but just don't wear them enough. And, I'm trying to justify making another purchase.

I'm the only owner of them all, with links, box and papers.

None are, admittedly, "high end" but are still good pieces, especially for folks looking to get into the mechanical space.

Oris Divers Sixty-Five
Bought January 2024
$2300

Christopher Ward C63 Sealander (don't see this color on the CW site)
Bought October 2022
$850



Also:
Steinhart Ocean One Vintage Dual Time (not sure why this link isn't working; Googling this verbiage can also get to their site.)
Bought November 2021
$850


(Here's a stock pic of the Steinhart showing the 2nd time zone hand. I did a crappy job with my pic.)

Asking prices might help generate interest.

Sorry about that. Meant to add originally.

Added now.

You're probably a little high on the CW and Oris given their condition. There is a brand new Oris Divers 65 on Ebay from a grey market seller for $1,700.

Fair enough. I'm open. I'm no FTAC2011 so don't do all the market research. Not trying to make anything but a down payment on my next fix.

Not being defensive but both watch's conditions are pretty dang clean. Maybe some desk-diving scratches on the bracelets but nothing that bugs my anal-retentive self.

I wouldn't say it's not the condition the watches are in but more so the brand.

$850 for a used CW and $2,300 for an Oris is big ask given that with a little more money you can step into the Omega/Tudor arena.
TP Ag '87

Again, fair enough. I was responding to a comment about "condition."

My starting prices are beneath the current MSRP of those watches I think, I recognize the brands involved aren't "high end," as I stated in original post. .

Both beautiful watches and love the teal accents on the Oris.

The first rule of the high end watch thread is that all of our watches are investments and only Increase in value... until someone else is trying to sell one

Yes, much better. Thanks!

True. That's why I'm looking at taking less than I paid for them.

Just got a slight upgrade over my previous daily driver which was a Tissot.

I don't think you're allowed to jump that many steps in one

Right... You can't just skip the Omega/Tudor step. That's not how this works...

Yema keeps putting out bangers, but I just can't bring myself to buy a French watch

Lol, you mean a Chinese watch that they slapped "France" on to.

Tried a bronze IWC on recently, good looking watch. Anyone have experience with bronze watches and what to expect with the patina over time?
