I have bought about three times successfully, and sold twice within the US sucessfully.

I was also scammed once when selling a watch. In that instance Chrono 24’s service was completely useless, and allowed the recipients money to be returned to them. I would always recommend that you insure your item to the max, because on the off chance that you have a problem, Chrono 24 (despite their advertising) will not help.

I would recommend using the forums. You get a better price, and there is at least some info about your buyer available.

They’re a lot of fun. I enjoy mine and would think about buying another. These are plastic watches which echo a Speedmaster with a cheap Quartz movement in them. What’s not to like? They are worth what you’re willing to pay and no more.

It’s a stunner.

I’m just hoping we get a GS memorializing all the dandelions in my lawn.

This is amazing! Thank you to Tudor for listening to us- now to start saving some funds. I should have a little while before the blue one comes out. That will be mine.

Windup was great. I highly recommend going, if there is one in reasonable distance from you. It was so cool to actually be able to handle watches I would have otherwise just had to take a chance on…. Farer, Benrus, AnOrdain, Christopher Ward and Oris were among my favorites. And the Chicago event had a great turnout. 
Best of luck next time with the MKII, if you try again. I managed to get the TR-660 in January’s drop and just received mine. It’s very well built and a lot of fun to wear. But I’ve also tried to get a Halios, with no luck this far….

Benrus is a great option. Either the Type 1 or Type 2 would be great options. Both are above $1000 though. Having handled them at the Windup Watch Fair in Chicago, they are solidly built and wear much smaller than their 42 mm size.
