I happened to have access to a rather ridiculous discount for one week only, so whilst I hope to keep it forever, if I had to sell it, I shouldn't lose anything!

I might have the chance of an eight year old Rolex Yachtmaster - it’s stopped and would need a fix and service - has anyone any ideas what I should offer - I would like to make a balance between fair and getting a bargain.

Can you get a quote to repair from a watchmaker, then factor that in to the sale price? Assuming you have access to the watch.
Rolex being Rolex, you may find the watchmaker doesn't have access to parts if they're needed to effect repair, anyway.

Standard service is ca £750 and the service papers are a plus when it comes to selling. Chances are its not a serious glitch with the movement, depends what he"s been doing with the watch. 8 year old Yachtmaster is unusual to have problems, is it real ????? Check out Chrono24.com and you can see 2nd hand world wide offers, gives you and idea what its worth up and running.

Picked up these cheapo watch stands and quite pleased with them and do the job nicely, although I did break one as some once the band is slotted into the stand it can be hard to dismantle again The band has some springyness so easy to mount the watch without undoing the strap.

It a good chance the mainspring is broken, a common problem with mechanical watches. No need to sent it to Rolex for a service try an indie such as http://www.russelltalerman.com/ much cheaper and will come back looking like new.

I will
I was lucky enough to get a very nice shotgun at a good price when the owner “needed” the cash! I hope I’m as lucky again.

If on inspection it looks f***ed its still worth £2750 with boxes and papers, new movement refit is not rocket science to find. I suspect its a minor issue causing the problem but guys like Nic at Chronomatic and several others are really good with info and service so they are always helpful. Bear in mind, it costs to fix it and with invoices from the serious people it only increases the value.
Check it study it make sure its real, Good luck with the deal.

Hi all,
Just posted this forsale in the non Z4 related section.
Anyone able to give me any information on the brand/quality of these watch’s?
I know they are £1660 on the website now. No idea if its good thought.
