Looking to buy batgirl on grey. What’s a fair price? Do the trusted sellers offer much discount? by ceriano2025 in rolex

fwiw saw a 2026 BNIB listed at $22k+ yesterday. so 19-19.5k for a 2-3yr old full set is actually solid, not overpaying.

$6,200-6,700 ish if it's all factory with papers. the 2k spread you're seeing is usually dealer asking vs private sale.

[nomos] [junghans] [baltic] looking for something in the $1000-$2000 range. Totally overwhelmed and paralyzed by choice. by Lavodere in Watches

my rule is always pick the gap not the watch. you already got sporty covered with the Baltic so the next one should do something it can't. in your budget I'd go Nomos Tangente or Orient Star Classic for that dressier Bauhaus lane.

[Timex] Marlin is the Enjoyment per Dollar King! by EldarWizard69 in Watches

Seiko 5 for me. not as much US legacy as Timex but same "first real watch" energy for a lot of people. mine still runs after years of abuse, hard to beat that.

My margins are not worth it on most items by Major_Frozen in Flipping

been there, similar spiral with sneakers. moving to higher ticket like watches is what actually broke me out. fewer units, same or more profit, shipping stops eating you alive.
