What's the next dive watch on my 'flipping' journey to a Rolex Submariner?
Okay...
...I love dive watches and just for fun, I've decided to try and 'flip' my way to a Rolex Submariner Date 116613LB.
Hey, what can I say? I enjoy a challenge :)
Here's my plan...
- I buy a watch
- Take some video of it whilst I go snorkelling
- Post the video on YT
- Sell the watch
- Add some cash
- Repeat from step 1
And keep going until I get the Rolex.
I started with a Casio MDV106-1A Dura 'Marlin' and flipped it for an Invicta Pro Diver 8928OB (Bought for £65)
Then (where --> means 'flipped)
- Invicta Pro Diver (sold for £66) --> Citizen Pro Master Eco Drive BN0151-17L (Bought new for £164)
- Citizen Pro Master (Sold for £110) --> Seiko SKX007 J (Bought for £150)
- Seiko SKX007 (sold for £293!) --> ????
So...
I've got a budget of £450 for my next dive watch.
My question is, what's the most popular dive watch in this price range?
Not the best...
...The most popular.
You see, personally, I think the Citizen Pro Master is a much better watch than the Seiko but the price I sold the Seiko for proves it's the more popular watch.
It was a very easy flip.
So...
...I'm thinking my next purchase could be a second hand Longines Hydroconquest or CWC RN Quartz MK1 RN300-MQM60.
From researching eBay's sold listings I reckon I could pick either one up for £400 to £450 second hand.
My main aim is to avoid taking a hammering when I sell the watch.
So what would you get next?
Bonus Question...
How would you flip your way from a Casio Dura to a Rolex Submariner Date 116613LB?
Thanks for playing along :)
