    Thanks OP.
    A hand-wound vintage for <$350 is astonishing.

  • PJC on 06/04/2018 - 14:39

    To illustrate how particularly good this price is, here is a vendor currently offering it for US$1,095!

    • Zinger on 06/04/2018 - 14:41

      Wow it sounds like a real deal! I almost wish I was on the market for a new watch :)

        By the power vested in me it is my solemn duty to hereby absolve you of all blame and any residual guilt concerning the essential acquisition of this premium vintage horological masterpiece.

        That should cover it. Come back with a photo of you wearing it. Pay hamza23 the absolution fee within 7 days.

        If you're reading OzBargain, then by definition you are in the market for a new watch

          Amen.

    • PJC on 06/04/2018 - 14:49

      I've just realised it is the same vendor. Here is another previously selling it for US$786.

      • Trysaeder on 06/04/2018 - 15:53
        +8

        Why compare it to prices that no one actually pays? The camelcamelcamel page you linked shows the recent price to be in the US$270-280 range. This is essentially a US$20(8%) discount which no one who isn't already looking at the watch will care about. This isn't some popular consistently priced item where 8-10% off the lowest street price is a decent saving, it's a niche luxury item that no one has on their wishlist.

        I expect this discount inflation from resellers, not ozbargain. Seems like it's common with watch posts here though. Dress up a $10-30 discount as if it's 50% off or something amazing.

        • dcep on 06/04/2018 - 16:26
          +5

          i agree, too much watch posts with 70% discount by quoting "RRP" prices from crazy sellers that made ppl thinking it was a bargain but not really.

          I expect this discount inflation from resellers, not ozbargain. Seems like it's common with watch posts here though.

        • ilikeit on 06/04/2018 - 16:57

          @phunkydude: Unless there's a retail monopoly, never look at RRP with luxury items unless it's limited edition.

        • PJC on 06/04/2018 - 17:44

          OK, you tell me how much they are charging on their own website for this watch.

  • ilikeit on 06/04/2018 - 15:06

    Good looking hand-winder and a lot for the price.

  • Polypterus on 06/04/2018 - 15:25

    Handwinders, are these mainly for the collection boxes? Do people still wear and wind them everyday?

    • ReaveJones on 06/04/2018 - 15:39

      Can't speak for others, but I certainly do.

      • tonyjzx on 06/04/2018 - 16:55

        Yep. I personally cant understand it. I'm ok with 48hr automatics and insist that any watch I buy has handwinding but I cant accept having to manually wind a watch every day.

        But then I kind of want to buy a Speedmaster.

      I think if you put a $1000 price on a hand injury and advertised it in ebay someone would buy it

      • retiredfeline on 06/04/2018 - 17:40

        I'm sure it would be a popular "present". :)

        Buy it if you like, PJC. It's a junk throw away watch, as I said to you in a previous conversation. Watchnerd got pretty excited about the price. I didn't post it for up-vote or down-votes. It's a good cheap watch for tradies, so probably not suitable for someone who sits at home making 100 watch posts for Ozbargain.

          It's a junk throw away watch, … as I said to you in previous conversation.

          Please remind us where it says that in your description for G-Shock Classic Solar Power Digital Black Resin G5600E-1 - $84.55 Delivered @ Starbuy eBay I need to learn, having posted 50 G-SHOCK bargains since then.

          @PJC: You're correct. I thought the price would signal that it was a junk throw-away watch. My bad. Be sure to tell folks that the cheap junk watches you post are throw away watches. It's the right thing to do, I see that now.

        • PJC on 06/04/2018 - 20:55
          +2

          @Chateau: No, price does not signal that, but adequate description certainly can inform your fellow OzBargain Members. G-SHOCK watches are amongst the very toughest available and some owners have had theirs for 20 years.

      Only if you don't wear it after it is fully wound. Since it is automatic, if you keep wearing it, it will keep charging.

      • WatchNerd on 06/04/2018 - 23:40

        The first watch in the title is mechanical, which means it only works by hand winding.

        The second watch is automatic. It's all there in the title & description.
