What time is it? Watches and horology

id wager generally more people interested in buying bb58s

Always update the value, but a valuation by a retailer might be useful evidence. We update our jewelry valuations every couple of years. The guy who made the engagement ring for us is happy to do that for minimal outlay. Might be worth a quick call to the insurance provider to check.

They don’t seem to be forth coming but wondering if the market has turned a little

I always used to get a new value from the Local AD for I sure on my Breitling Navitimer having bought it for just under £3k in 2004 and then by the time I sold it they were new £7k ish

Looks like I'll put 18 batteries into an old wall clock. Something tells me I should have gone for an external power supply.

What the

It's an old clock that needs a main clock.
Thankfully there is an über nerd that makes controls.
Two big batteries feed the radio thing.
And then it needs 24v to tick.
So either power supply or 16x1,5v batteries.
Didn't want to have a cable going to the clock, so now will buy more batteries than I needed in the last 20 years in one go.
Would go eneloop, but they don't really do 1,5v.

I feel equally excited and stupid.

There are quite a few BB58s that have sold on ebay for no more than £2k which is about £1750 to the seller. It might just be that the market has cooled somewhat and/or saturated.

But I'm sure your dealer would still fancy their chances selling one sooner than a quartz GS (as nice as quartz GS are).

They offered me £1500 and £200 less for the GS, I think thats the thing that has put me off it being a Quartz..

Anyone interested in a Tudor Black Bay Horrods?

2019 model, unworn, with card ect.

£3100

18 batteries? Are the hands made of uranium?

The secondhand market has definitely really dropped off and I suspect that dealers are sitting on a lot more stock than previously, so aren't that interested in adding to it unless they get it in on a real low ball figure. Just to be extra cheery, I'm not sure I see demand/values picking up any time soon either given the general economic outlook. There are dealers who'll sell on consignment - if you don't mind waiting for the money, maybe they could be worth a try?

Should have kept mine, having waited nearly a year originally. Now they are selling them on the website. Hey-ho.

This looks like something that needs disarming

Happy Friday gents!
