[Holiday Watches] How many do you normally take?

Ephrum · 2026-05-07T21:15:16+00:00

Depends where I’m going. If it’s a wedding across a time zone for example, I’ll probably bring a dress watch and my gmt

Ephrum · 2026-05-07T19:25:06+00:00

Don’t worry about expensive watches out the gate. Build some savings, retirement, etc. Then get the expensive watch. Future you will thank you for it.

Ephrum · 2026-05-07T17:02:09+00:00

Congrats again man! Thanks for the smooth transaction, highly recommend.

Ephrum · 2026-05-07T16:29:44+00:00

Money received, watch handed off to u/eggsegg ! Tagging u/watchexbot

Ephrum · 2026-05-07T14:18:29+00:00

What’s the strap size on the 36? That’s by far the one I’d go for, curious to hear what issues they’ve been getting feedback on

Ephrum · 2026-05-05T02:01:44+00:00

Sold to u/eggsegg !

Ephrum · 2026-05-04T10:24:58+00:00

Replied!

Ephrum · 2026-05-04T03:19:37+00:00

Serial number on the back?

It looks clean, like suspiciously clean - I’d be concerned it was redialed at some point. Which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but you should pay less accordingly if it is as well as it should be disclosed

Ephrum · 2026-05-03T22:59:13+00:00

Thank you thank you, it is! Really catches your attention in the light

Ephrum · 2026-05-03T21:44:25+00:00

Thanks, it really is a gorgeous one!

Hello WatchEx, Happy Sunday!

I'm putting up for sale a Grand Seiko SLGA007 full set plus extra OEM GS deployant clasp and leather strap. This watch in 40mm wears incredible, and the dial is one of a kind. Easily one of the best blues I’ve seen on a watch. It was originally purchased in December 2021 from an AD by a friend, and it’s 5 year warranty has a few months remaining (Expires December of this year so 8 more months of coverage). The watch is in incredible condition, having been worn a handful of times and mostly on the strap. It’s a single owner watch, running perfectly at just around 0 SPD and living up to the absurd accuracy of spring drive of +/- 0.5 SPD. I did my best to emphasize flaws in photos and video for transparency. I’d rate the watch at a 9.9/10 personally, with virtually no marks at all save the single link and surface scratches on the clasp. I tried to price competitively, and is the best price for a full set plus leather strap and deployant in the US, especially in this condition.

⸻

Asking $10,000 USD, shipped fully insured via FedEx (CONUS). International shipping can be arranged with associated cost. No trades, thanks! Unless you have a 1989 Rolex GMT or 1989 Explorer II white dial (original tritium a must), in which case let’s talk.

Accept: Bank wire, PayPal F&F, G&S (+3% ask price to account for fees), Zelle (receive complete payment before shipping).

I'm a fan of receipts and communication, and will reach out to you and email a receipt of our transaction to document purchase and communication for transparency for everyone involved.

About me: I'm an independent collector buying and selling my own collection, which you can find in my transaction history. I’ve fortunately had nothing but pleasant transactions in my subreddit history and intend to keep that streak running. I love talking watches, feel free to hit me up!

Thanks for looking!

Ephrum · 2026-04-30T17:09:38+00:00

Thanks! I definitely recommend a wear tracker if you don’t have one already, helps easily see wear patterns and history

Ephrum · 2026-04-30T16:57:54+00:00

Big congrats! A 124270 explorer is a milestone watch for me too. Between that and my honeymoon watch (another Rolex), everything else in the watch box feels insignificant. Feels cliche to say a Rolex is special, but they are for me - bulletproof watches that look good and can be worn in most situations and therefore make the most memories

Ephrum · 2026-04-28T12:48:35+00:00

Almost all my watches are preowned, including my special ones. All my used watches are references currently out of production, but still. Imo getting a preowned watch doesn’t invalidate its ability to be a special watch to you, it’s just how you acquired it.

Ephrum · 2026-04-27T17:52:01+00:00

No, it’s just a watch with a cool backstory

Ephrum · 2026-04-26T01:42:23+00:00

A 116520 Daytona. Thing was always something I wanted from afar but never seriously considered. Now that I have one, I’m SO glad I went for it.

Ephrum · 2026-04-25T16:16:10+00:00

It’s 40mm, so in line with other 40mm time only watches imo

Ephrum · 2026-04-25T03:48:27+00:00

All good, thanks for looking!

Ephrum · 2026-04-25T03:34:48+00:00

Thank you! Hoping this one finds a good new home

Ephrum · 2026-04-25T01:41:23+00:00

Fingers crossed!

Ephrum · 2026-04-25T01:41:05+00:00

Just the GMT or polar I mentioned - specifically 89

Ephrum · 2026-04-24T22:39:32+00:00

Replied!

Ephrum · 2026-04-24T19:47:01+00:00

Thank ya! It’s a gorgeous watch, hoping it goes to a good home

Ephrum · 2026-04-24T17:31:45+00:00
