I’m gonna need a bigger watch box...

Trigger pulled

OK, my interest in a new watch means I may need to raise some cash. If anyone is interested in any of the following (all in excellent, if not nearly new condition) let me know:

SKX007
SKX013
SARB017 Alpinist
SRPE53 (the blue one)
Casioak (stealth one)

I had this. Sent it back. It's nice but didn't feel like a £155 watch. Plus they sent me a used watch - it seems from the reviews on the website I wasn't the only one...

EDIT - and it turns out Royal Mail lost the blasted thing when sent tracked return... what a total cluster**** this one has turned out to be...

ooof - that looks great! Design also means no strap gap which is a brucey bonus. Thanks for the pic - much appreciated.

Thanks - it's a lovely watch. And it does seem to keep selling out, which suggests maybe the price is right! I assume it wears slightly largely than the 38mm dia because of the case shape?

Subject hijack: I think someone on here has an Alsta Nautoscaph? I'm trying to find my perfect diver at between 38-40mm and I keep looking at this. Huge fan of Jaws (possibly my favourite film) which only adds to the draw. Its really quite overpriced which keeps me from pulling the trigger, but was wondering if someone on here had experience with the watch and had a view after owning it?

Still loving this

I bought a Seiko SRPE53 (the blue dress KX). It's a nice watch but not singing to me for some reason. It was pre-owned - but bracelet completely unworn and still stickered, and only marks on the watch a couple of v minor strap change marks on underside of lugs from prev owner. Otherwise perfect condition and box and papers etc. I bought for around £135 and looking to sell on for similar - so £130 plus postage if anyone on here interested.

EDIT - I double checked and I bought it for £130, so for sale for £125 plus postage

I couldn’t find info on them - that pic was from Instagram. Where did you find seven of them???

Also spotted this giro themed number - the upside down 13 is a nice touch (can’t see on this image), but expect the watch design might divide opinions. Good size for a chrono (38mm with sub 47mm lug to lug).

Interesting...

If you have a compass, wave your watch over the top of it and if the needle moves the watch is prob magnetised.

I have a demagnetiser - where are you based? (tho tbh they're cheap as chips on ebay and if your work means it might happen again you might want to pick one up)

Also this is quite a useful little vid - has CC to my knowledge [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZ1RUrbyYuo

Thought I'd experiment with a bund strap - i have to say liking this a lot...

.

Basically a SKX013 copy, but with better Seiko movement, better bracelet (solid links), double domed anti reflective sapphire crystal, and lot of dial / bezel choices. You'd have to pay import / VAT but otherwise...

Enjoying the sunshine

And finally, an unused Hirsch Medici fitted leather strap - 22mm, blue, 2 x sets of spring bars, still in packaging - this has the removable insert that you can rotate to change the position of the spring bar holes, so it fits most watches - £20 posted

Also wanting to sell a SKX007J - £220 with stock strap, box and papers, plus original bezel. Currently has a DLW coin edge bezel with flat ceramic dual time insert (lumed). Bought last year so is v new.

+£35 for a crafter blue strap (black)

+£40 for a strapcode oyster bracelet

£290 the lot

Bringing the horological level down a bit, does anyone want a strapcode oyster bracelet for an SKX013?

Worn once and decided it's not for me. It is this one [https://www.strapcode.com/collections/replacement-band-for-seiko-skx013/products/metal-ss-bcl20-b049]

£40 plus postage.

brass pens I can cope with - never convinced by brass watches tho...!

Also picked up this one the other day - like the 70s vibe. Though need an unpadded strap for it...

Double trouble

(you can tell from the date which one is getting the most wrist time... will probably sell the SKX007)

thanks for the vid! The only thing i liked more than the watch in the video was that lovely mini... esp the clothes peg on the clutch.
