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.

Re: FS: Titus Calypsomatic 7985 "Big Crown" - $7000

: To be honest, your price is way way heavy and you will need to put

: watch but at most you are talking between $1000 possibly $2000
: for an exceptional example which yours clearly is not.

: Are you attempting a scam or trying to pull a fast one ?

Interesting that I'm the one with sales posts and references, run a website for GMT collectors (gmtmaster1675.com), this is your first post on chronotrader, and I'm the one accused of being a scammer. Maybe ask squinky, who I just bought something from yesterday. Please look into someones record before accusing them of scamming, it's really not a nice thing to do in a community based mostly on word of mouth.

As for my price, if you don't like it, that's fine. The non-gilt and smaller references have sold for the range you quote and recent public sales have been in the 5-6k range, with, as shishy says, up to 10k for a pristine example sold off the forums. Sorry that you haven't noticed but people like these. I have had other incomings, hence the sale, and priced according to what recent sales have been. Also, apart from the slight lume discoloration, I'm not sure what isn't original or arguable about the condition of this example. Cheers,

Andrew
