Do your research on this one, make sure it's original and maybe make an offer, and you could have a real vintage collection crown jewel. Vintage Tissot Sea Star chronograph, $650.

That's about what they go for when in need of repair!

I can only imagine lol. I would be pretty hesitant about going full price on this- I always factor in the cost of service when considering a vintage purchase, regardless of how well someone says it keeps time.

Part of the reason I've gotten out of vintage watches.

$260 for a white dial khaki field is an excellent price.

Less than 2 days left on this auction on an Atelier Wen Porcelain Odyssey Ji.
No bids and starting at $400. Buy it now price is $600.
Retail price is about $715 direct from Atelier Wen

Seller joined Ebay this year and only has 3 feedback, so factor that into the equation.

Not at all surprised- if I had some spare cash that would have almost certainly been added to the cortman collection. 😁

Ebay seller. This is a great deal depending on condition, hard to find these anywhere close to this price in what appears to be very good condition and recent purchase (inquire). Citizen Chronomaster Quartz HAQ +/- 5 SPY, 38mm case, great fit and finish. If this were a solar model I would be all over it.

So this doesn't seem to be a deal, since he's asking MSRP, but if you can talk him down maybe it could be? Mostly just posting because it's an awesome watch:

$800 for a Tag Aquaracer on Facebook. Seems like a good deal. Is this something that may not be authentic? Seems new.

A lot to pay for seconds hand and bezel that do not align with the indices...just sayin‘. That second hand wants to hit the 45...
