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...

  1. I buy a watch
  2. Take some video of it whilst I go snorkelling
  3. Post the video on YT
  4. Sell the watch
  5. Add some cash
  6. 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 :)
