Any watch lovers here????

Give it 3 months and then Jomashop and Chrono24 are going to make lowballing on craigslist look nice...

I'm waiting to lowball on the PAM-184
Internal bezel on the upper right.
Hour/Minute/GMT on the lower right.

 

Not seeing any fire sales yet. If this goes on for a few months then yes.

 

I doubt the mfgs are gonna drop prices. Would need to be panicked individuals. Though it'd be nice Bob's to drop their prices 25-50%...

 

At least the watch I referenced above is a 2006/07 model. It's 2nd hand market only.
Which means individuals, or re-sellers that may have been sitting on it a while.

 

I’m keeping an eye on TRF.

 

I’m wondering if the used market will get flooded with those trying to liquidate.

 

08/09 I bought up a lot, keep liquid cash handy as I’m hedging on another market flood. Also will be a great time to buy motorized toys like dirt bikes, atv’s, boats etc. Call me a savage but I’m not forcing people to sell them and I’m not a pawn shop so is what it is. I have a couple watches I’ve been keeping an eye out for as well as couple ATV’s. Gun market is going the other way for obvious reasons.

 

a navitimer or an IWC Pilot... are what my cash is lusting after

 

I'm hoping that OG Seamaster 300 prices crater and the price of black market kidneys somehow goes way up...

Hell id settle for Seamaster 120 at a reasonable price...

 

Crown & Caliber has started dropping prices, not by a huge percentage though.

I seem to be getting way more emails from Joma lately.

 

Starting to see moderate deals available using watchrecon.

 

Curious to hear if you are able to replace that eco drive battery. I have one that won’t charge and I’m told it’s junk. It was a gift from my dad so I’d hate to toss it.

 

You could also have Mike change out the movement. I'm sure he could do a good job for you.
You might get it back in 2023....

 

Who told you that. Lots of info on changing the "battery" which I thought was really a capacitor for eco drives on the net.

Maybe you got a really old one but most just change like a battery.

 

It’s one of those fancy skyhawk jobs with so much writing on the dial it makes a breitling look clean. It’s a hideous watch but sentimental value and shit.

Maybe the local jeweler just wanted to sell me a watch. I’ll spin it apart and take a look.

 

SS Rolex prices down 10-15% on secondary market. LNIB 2020 Batman for $13k. Hulks are down. OP39s for less than $5k. Blue Skydweller for less than $20k.

Here's the Batman-

Anyone bored at home and want to work on a Seiko Prospex for me? It's a 4R35 movement. Started running about 5 min fast a day and today sounds like something backed out and is rattling around in the case. Still running however.

I can lysol the shit outta her then mail it to ya
