Youri McAnespie Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I'm sorry, I dunno which is most mental; the asking price, where it's being flogged, PayPal and eBay's potential commission or that some would buy the fucker in the first place..? £34.85 for P+P. What could possibly go wrong? Not Yodel surely - they'd probably sling it over the back fence. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Richard-Mille-Rafael-Nadal-Red-NTPT-Carbon-Automatic-Mens-Watch-RM35-02/133638768414?hash=item1f1d7dc71e:g:xvMAAOSwplBgAeo4 I presume there's some Russian moron who was in the right place at the right time circa 1992 with a bona-fide one, probably with a cadre of mercenary minders. 😈 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweep Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Surely nobody would buy or sell such an item on eBay of all places Edited January 25, 2021 by Sweep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) @Sweep Apparently so. Surely eBay wouldn't allow such a high ticket item unless it was kosher? I wonder if Paypal would extend their 'pay after delivery' option to me for this purchase? 😀 Edited January 25, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Quarter of a million to have the same watch as an OCD arsepicker. Crazy. Knockoff ones available for $499.

Members Rudy Posted January 25, 2021 Members Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Right gonna show my inner nerd here I went to Switzerland a while back and being the crazy rock n roll star I am I went to a watch museum. I thought it was going to be shite but my word it was fascinating. The attention to detail in some Swiss watches is nothing short of extraordinary. That then started my slight obsession for watches. I have a good few now, A GT Tag Heuer, I have a Rolex which was a wedding present and a Breitling which was a long service gift to my dad which he gave me for my 30th because he would never use it . Richard Mille watches are just something else the miniature engineering in them is sensational but so are the prices. If anyone ever wants to treat me The gold JFK Rolex which Marilyn Monroe gave to him is the one I’d like to have. Not the actual one because he probably fisted her with it on, but the remade version of it.

Site Supporter Spider Posted January 25, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 25, 2021 If I was spending a quarter of a mill on a Swatch like that, I’d expect it to be hand delivered by a team of Russian thugs in armoured vehicles. My betting is that this thread turns into something of a dick swinging contest about Omegas, Panerai’s, IWC’s and Rolex’s. Early favourite for most money spent on a watch is Esco.

Youri McAnespie Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 If one ventured out sans hired goons with such an item, even if someone gave you the option of 'your watch' or 'your watch and your hand' (whilst brandishing an axe) - where could they possibly flog it on?

I had a Panerai once upon a time. Liked it but was always panicking that if I wore it whilst out on the piss I was likely to effectively smash up a few grand. And I had to wind the fucker up so it was never showing the right time. Ive a G Shock I was given to me 15 years ago that’s still like new and winds itself up through some sort of Japanese witchcraft.

Extremely hungover me and the then bird (c-cup) went in a potty/commode/bog museum in Prague. I thought it'd be shite... All I could think of was "people have shat in that - fucking animals". But now I have a £2000 Armitage Shanks with a platinum seat. The bar next door was the last place I went in where folk were smoking. That gaff knocked me more sick than the po museum.

captainmed Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 High end watch prices have shown a massive increase in price over the last year. I bought a few Watches of Switzerland shares a few months ago and they have more than doubled. Further to go too in these uncertain times.

About 120quid I would say off the top off my head about 20+ years ago spent a grand on a watch for my missus. I was given a Rolex about 10 years ago as a generous gift off someone I helped with a big problem they had. I was very grateful. So much so i sold it 6 months later. I wish I had kept it as it would be worth double now what it was back then. last watch I had was a Fitbit. Ive got a polar watch on its way this week but that’s another gift from mrs esco. just goes to show how wrong people can be doesn’t it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
