  • I am going to give it a miss, there are plenty of 70's divers on teh 'bay in excellent condition

  • only needs a new crown. £15

  • Has anyone bought off Firefly watches on ebay?
    the Shark Vader keeps tempting me. Asked for the Timex watch that was posted a while back for my birthday but if I don't get that then I may go for the vader!

    Yeah a few Seikos. They sent me an email asking 'are you sure' as I was winning about 6 of their auctions a few weeks back. They seem good.

  • Do some research on thewatchsite.com, a very good japanese watch forum. Conclusion is that many of the watches are not what they appear.

    On a more general note, buying watches on ebay is a good way to get ripped off - there are lots of fakes, non-original vintages and overpriced stuff.

    Firefly say when the parts are repainted, not original and/or from another model so it's hardly going to upset a buyer that's read their text.

    Oh wait.. it's ebay.. who actually reads listings..



  • Fugliest IWC ever. Looks like a £50 Argos Casio..

    Have you read the threads on thewatchsite forum? There are some very knowledgeable Seiko collectors on there who have a different opinion.

  • GASH

  • You're not in their target market though. Clearly it says "yacht club" on the face.

  • Any closer to your yacht yet VB?

  • I'm settling for a rubber ring.

  • hehe

    It'll be registeresd on the IoM for tax purposes.

  • I am not liking that IWC with the carbon face and I normally love IWC!! Spitfire's are lovely!

  • Fugliest IWC ever. Looks like a £50 Argos Casio..

    Is that snoopy or brian in the bottom right?

  • Not my arm. No idea.

    Here's one http://www.thewatchsite.com/index.php/topic,24866.0.html

    Just to say, I haven't bought anything from them so have no experiences, good or bad, but in my experience the world of vintage watches seems to have a lot more chancers than the world of vintage bikes.

  • fugliest iwc ever. Looks like a £50 argos casio..

  • My numerous Seikos are all sub-£200 and look better than that piece of shit.

    How much is the IWC Carbon Casio?

  • My numerous Seikos are all sub-£200 and look better than that piece of shit.

    I have just jumped on the Seiko LFGSS bandwagon, after being just outbidded on three vintage divers. I went for a near new 200m kinetic Seiko diver for £97. I will post pics when it arrives.

  • Oh and that IWC is shite.
