In Response To: Lemania Silverstone ()

A couple of reactions:

  • I believe that, as a general matter, prospective buyers prefer to see photos in the listings . . . more convenient than having to inquire
  • Without having seen your watch, I would point out that this model is known to have authenticity issues; in other words, there seem to be a fair number of fakes / redone dials / etc.
  • Summertime is usually slow for sales . . . at any given time, a somewhat high percentage of the population is away from the computer . . . and spending time and money with the family, not with the watches.
If you can e-mail some good photos, I will be happy to post them here for further discussion.

: A few weeks ago I posted a For Sale ad on the OTD sales forum for
: my Lemania Silverstone (the variant without
: "Silverstone" on the dial). I quoted £1500 for a
: watch that is is in good condition generally and the ad received
: over 750 views..... and yet no takers. Have I severely misjudged
: the appetite for this watch, I know that its not always regarded
: as a "real" Silverstone, but can the price be so far
: wrong, especially with such a huge number of views?
: Apologies to all if you feel that this is some form of link to the
: sales forum to promote the watch, this is genuinely not the
: case, I am just trying to get a handle on what the right figure
: should be for a (relatively) rarely seen watch.

: Best wishes to all
