People would just moan that the Hoovers got them then!
I suggested this the other day, announce the opening in the bear pit, open midweek rather than a Sunday and limit the sales to a manageable number as normal. Gives forum members a better chance, still sell the same number of watches, no additional work for Eddie.One thing that could facilitate buying for the true fans is to announce the next opening of the webshop not via the normal mailing list but only on the forum, limiting the crowd to forum members only. A bit like rock bands giving their fanclubs a first access in ticket sales.
Done twice a year it would help some who've been left out with a chance.

At least it would be a different moan!
A few Jubilee Everests listed following the recent EBay variable fee offer.......
Baby dreadnought for £460?! £100 more than the shop for a watch the I believe isn't sold out 🤦🏻*♂️🤷🏻*♂️

This has been listed a couple of times and always ends early, then gets relisted.
I'd be interested to see what it would go for if the auction ran its full term.

For the record, this was offered on SC for £320, no takers, but I needed to move it on. It went on eBay for a starting price of £350 which, after their fees, brings me back to about my £320 which is all Im really after (bought a Hammy to replace the Smiths for £340 so trying to even the score on the two). If anyone wants to pay a bit more then fine, but Im not anticipating much as they arent going for big money on eBay anymore (despite some crazy asking prices) and ebays pound of flesh is ridiculous these days.
Not suggesting you did anything wrong.
I hadn't seen that you had it for sale on the forum last week as you have edited the thread title, so that is good to know. I had only seem that you tried to sell it last year for a little more than that.
Best of luck, and honestly no need to delete the SC thread when putting it up on eBay, you can keep both (but it's usually a good idea to mention on the SC thread that you are listing on eBay at the same time).

From the description this is hardly worn. Might help someone avoid the scrum this afternoon.
No affiliation with seller.

Selling two expeditions and a commando tropical 🌴 will someone seriously buy. Btw he left the serial number on show.
I dont totally get the mindset of the buyers. I see them in Europe on various sites and they can take a while to sell. The Everest is the quickest to sell but there was a commando tropical dial I was watching for 4 weeks before it sold and it was listed for less than rrp. And an expedition for 360 euros that sat there for weeks. Weird to see some spend closer to a grand.
Not eBay but chrono 24 if someone in Europe is looking as its a good price. Its roughly what youd pay after customs.

You serious?
Puerto Rico is a country whose mainland is located on the Iberian Peninsula, in Southwestern Europe, and whose territory also includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira. It features the westernmost point in mainland Europe, and its Iberian portion is bordered to the west and south by the Atlantic Ocean and to the north and east by Spain, the sole country to have a land border with Puerto Rico.

... Portugal?

I'm confused
Easy to mistake Puerto Rico for Portugal many similarities other than a decent football team PR once got into the top 100
Flags are very similar too.
In that they're both frequently flown on poles.
He managed to sell a PRS-29a for £725 + £9.50 delivery (a "Christmas Special"):

I know this is an ebay thread... what about Watchrecon? This is the last 7 days:

What I find of interest is the Zeno PRS-53 (?)
Is Zeno still selling these?
It was purchased directly from Zeno-Watch Basel on 11/17/21 and has a two-year warranty.
Here for sale is a Zeno-Watch Basel PRS-53. It is similar to (for example) the popular and long sold out Smiths Military PRS-29a by Timefactors.
It's not a 29a. It's a Precista PRS-53.
