A marketplace for chronographs, dive watches and other tool-type wristwatches and timepieces

This forum is for BUYING, SELLING and TRADING only--not for discussing watches. Please limit postings to specific ads for buying, selling or trading watches, parts or accessories that that match at least one of the following categories:

Pre-1990 tool watches, such as: chronographs, diver's, GMT/multi-time zone or other tool watches [Explain...]
Modern reissues of pre-1990 tool watches as described above
Dash-mount, handheld and other specialized timers and other racing/diving/sport timing devices
Straps, parts, accessories and repair services suitable for any of the above timepieces

Please see our ChronoTrader Policies and Terms of Use.

Learn more about How To Include Photos In Your Postings.

Rules: Postings must be an ad announcing an intent to sell, buy or trade. Full item description and photo(s) must be posted within the message here, not as links to other websites. Links to online auctions and other sites: Links to online auctions, dealer sites or other listings of items are permitted, but you should be careful to ensure that such listings will comply with our other ChronoTrader Policies. In addition, we request that sellers linking to online auctions or listings offer some benefit or accomodation to ChronoTrader readers (for example, some discount or an undertaking to end an auction early, to keep a watch "in the family"). Photos must be of the actual item for sale in its present condition. No counterfeit or replica products. No post for the same item may be repeated within 7 days, except to lower the asking price. Commercial dealers are limited to three unique posts per day. [More...]

Please do not use image links with URL in

The forum has a policy to send all posts with URL links in to approval limbo, so you are not inundated for links to replica watches (one of which I have just deleted, so it does happen), blue diamond-shaped enhancement drugs, operations for member improvement and the like.

As well as making those sit waiting approval so the forumgoers never have to see them, it also makes helpful and interesting posts with nice watches go byebye if you use a URL image link and we would like you to see those.

The current biggest culprit is Photobucket. If you can't get a direct link from Photobucket and must use the URL link, please spend a little time editing the post to remove the first part in square brackets containing [ URL - link ] and the ending bit with [ / URL ]. The middle bit with [ img] is all you need.

It may be a little boring to have to do that, but please imagine how boring it is for the admins to do that for 15 or 20 posts in a row. If you need a hint, it is:

a) tremendously boring

and

b) not something I can see us wanting to do ad infinitum

So please spend just a little time editing those out of your post and everyone will see your post immediately and not be subjected to dodgy adverts either.

Thanks!
