Coming up for auction on Saturday:
A Santos de Cartier steel and yellow gold wristwatch, with spare straps and buckle, with box and papers, unworn
Estimate £7,000 - £10,000, not really butch enough for Accy, I suspect.

A Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust wristwatch with aftermarket custom olive green dial and Arabic numerals, with box and papers
Est £6,000 - £9,000, and IMHO ugly as sin, with incomprehensible numerals.

A Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust wristwatch with aftermarket custom ice blue dial and Arabic numerals, diamond bezel, with box and papers
Est £6,250 - £9,000, even uglier and just as daft!

OK, enough of this nonsense. More seriously,
A Breitling 1884 Super Avenger Chronometer wristwatch, unworn, with box and papers
Est £3,000 - £4,500
View attachment 690133

Saving the more realistic to last,
An Omega Seamaster Professional Co-Axial Chronometer wristwatch, 300m/1000ft, boxed with papers
Est £1,500 - £2,200

I'm still wondering whether to expose myself to ridicule by showing you my recent buys from this auction house, a couple of Seiko and a Citizen ecodrive, each for a hammer price of £30.

Well @Accy cyclist , you could have owned that super looking Omega for £2250 (hammer price £1800 + min 25% commission).
None of the others reached reserve price; the ice blue Rolex was sold just below reserve at £6200. Your loss!

My Fake Rolex and fake Cartier buying friend/neighbour sent me a text today, saying the seller of those watches now has fake Patek Philippe watches for sale at £250 to £300 (usual retail prices £350 to £500). She said that he said they are so well cloned that the 'authorities' are onto him 'big style', knowing these watches are being sold, but they can't pinpoint the seller. He's trying to offload them asap! So if any of you CCers fancy one, PM me and I'll pass on his number to you. The only drawback is that he doesn't post them out, you'll have to meet him at a certain spot In Piccadilly Manchester, with 'the readies'..no cards accepted!!:secret:

I doubt it's a loss. That watch looks so chintzy and cheap, it wouldn't look out of place in one of those arcade machines below. No matter it's supposed value. 'Diamonds' and stainless steel doesn't quite 'hit it off', I'd say🧐

Totally agree! My opinion of that Rolex was made clear in my original post - "even uglier and just as daft!".
The "Your loss!" comment refers to you missing out on the altogether more desirable Omega Seamaster, cheapest of the bunch.
Sorry for the potential ambiguity. :okay:

I'm still plucking up courage to post pics of my recent purchases from that same auction house - each at a hammer price of £30.

The hour markers, indexes, numbers or whatever they call them are hideous, in my opinion! :okay:

They're Arabic numerals - the shapes which informed our numbering system. I'd say Rolex think that's classy.

That would explain the "bling factor" then... Middle eastern and Indian subcontinent jewellery tends to be OTT to western eyes. And this is from a girl who enjoys window shopping for such.

I've seen worse though, that's actually not too bad in the grand scheme of things

£400 for a fake. 😲

Remember the good old days when people would come home from a holiday with a £20 fake watch?

Is there any kind of guarantee with the internals of these snide ones, or are you potentially splashing out on something that is a £30 Argos watch?
