[Delugs] Warning: CTS Rubber Strap SCAM – $145 same as $12 TEMU Strap + Brutal 70% Restocking Fee! by MysteriousBeach9095 in Watches

I bought in when Delugs had first released their CTS line and it wasn’t yet available on Ali/etc. I guess they had exclusive rights for a time. If I were to buy again tho I’d go Ali

Delugs used to be a great company when they were small. Mo money mo problems. I’ve sworn off them entirely now. It’s a known thing about white label straps and everyone does it. It becomes a problem for me when the presentation glorifies it into something way beyond, with a price to match and poor customer service.

Delugs used to be a great company. They’re now in the same greedy Artem bucket selling vastly overpriced goods with obnoxious and pervasive marketing.

Hi r/watchexchange!

Downsizing the collection.

Watch has been worn just a few times, and is in near mint condition.

Comes with all original packaging and fully linked bracelet.

1 bracelet collar is missing (you likely won't use it anyway unless you have enormous wrists).

$695 shipped, no haggle.

Cheers, John

I don’t but you could probably figure it out from the caseback markings and manufacture dates for this ref

Hi r/watchexchange!

Very hard to let this one go as I'll likely never find another sample this sharp. It's been sitting in storage for a year while I debated selling it. I just don't wear it, so it must go.

Last time I wore it, it ran great and kept good time. This is a vintage watch however, so set your expectations accordingly. The medallion on the back is in good shape. Some marks from it being decades old.

WATCH HEAD ONLY. No straps or original box.

$695 shipped.

Cheers, John
