I seem, to remember offering to sell you mine back in August and for less than you offered to buy the one that popped up on SC earlier today.
I sincerely hope that you are not referring to me or anyone else on this forum as a "scammer" or "someone who would only sell for a considerable offer" because that's just bad form & probably the best way NOT to be offered the opportunity to purchase one of these watches here.
Posting on WTB does not guarantee that you have first refusal for any matching watch that is put up for sale by a forum member ~ it is up to any potential seller to offer you the watch if he / she so desires. If you stick around and join in with the day to day banter in the forum, people will get to know you & you'll have a much better opportunity of owning one of these beauties and realising your dream.

Mike I think you may be mistaken as regards offering me this watch at a lower price (
apologies if i'm somehow mistaken).
I've checked my private messages and there are three between us.
First message - is mine to you saying I see you've sold one and do you mind me asking how much for so I can gauge the going rate.
Second message - you stating £325 with a PVD bracelet and it sold in 20 minutes
Third message - I thanked you for the reply.
Tony
then you should check your emails ~ specifically friday 19/08/11 at 20:13 where I wrote
Hi Tony,

Going on how well the second hand CW's are maintaining their value at the moment, I guess I'd be looking for at least £300 to part with it.
The discontinued yellow C600 does seem to be in high demand & I'm sure this model would sell for more than that on Ebay.
Regards
Mike
Mike,
Your right, I do recall that e-mail.
I've quite clearly posted above in my highlighted response that I am referring to PM's, and apologised if I'd got it wrong in brackets as regards any other potential contact that I may have overlooked.
I clearly didn't realise you were the same person I was PM'ng who already e-mailed me (how would I know?). Hence why I messaged you asking what it sold for to give me an accurate gauge of the market value at that time. I would state minus the bracelet, it's still arguable the value would have been below £300.
At the period of this e-mail CW had sold one off for £225-£250 and so had TZ-UK (six months or so earlier), hence what I was basing what I thought one may be worth. Though I do appreciate that items can increase in value over a period of time. Though yours is far and away the most expensive I've seen sold in the last 18 months. So, I would still concur that someone asking me for over £400 was an unrealistic second hand price at that time.
Even the one that sold yesterday on Sales Corner was listed as best offers in the region of £199. I made an offer that I thought may have been a 'fair' current market value based on the sale of yours, hence offering £315.
it would be interesting to know what it actually sold for, as it may well have been for less than my offer and if so would back up my point as regards the second hand market value.
Tony
