That guy must have been in his garage huffing paint fumes before posting that. goofy I know Zodiac has discontinued that model. There are a few web sites out there that say they have them but when you contact the company the reply is "out of stock". Yes the yellow dial is a little more uncommon but from what I've seen it doesn't increase the price by much. $400.00 is about the right price for that watch. I have the black dial version on the bracelet. It has extremely nice fit and finish for the price range it was selling for new at $495.00. Last edited on Thu Aug 7th, 2008 08:52 am by |

It looks like all the original replies about his high price are deleted by the Mod. This morning there were about eight replies to his sale, all of them about this price being crazy high. They are all gone now. Now there is Eric's reply and one other. face4.gif |

First glance i missed it too. :cool: I think early in the AM I need for coffee and maybe some reading glasses. :) Just have not talked myself into going to see that eye doctor. Maybe if I can find a hot looking female eye doctor I could get motivated faster. LOL :D |

The seller was probably desperate for money. I've seen it all too often in local classified ads under the description "Divorce Sale". |

Well, he registered the day before, and has only one post, so he's obviously either a scammer, or just some non-WIS guy trying to sell a watch, and doesn't know any better. As for complaining about his pricing: We live in a Democratic Capitalist society (at least that's what the government wants us to believe), which means he has the right to sell his property at what ever price he chooses-- and we have the right to not buy it! If it doesn't sell at that price he has to either reduce the price or not sell it...... of course if some fool does buy it at that price, than I guess the seller wasn't so crazy after all! |

Obsidian, last time I checked, not everyone on the Internet is from America. LOL. :P Either way, Watchuseek is a private forum and no one has the "right" to post there. We do so at the forum owner's discretion. I actually think it was amazingly kind of the mods to delete all the comments from that thread. Personally, I thought that leaving them would have been a nice way of letting the forum members moderate themselves, but that's just my opinion. ;) |

I owned the black dial version of this and I flipped it due a few nagging issues. For one thing, its a big cushion case, which is nice, but the thin bezel feels cheap. The lume is also average at best. The movement is actually a modified Chinese movement, the Seagull ST16 or ST15 or something like that that Claro Semag modifies for the CL-888. Yeah I know it says Swiss Movement but check the wiki over at WUS' Chinese Mechanical Watch forum for more details if you want. This thing wasn't worth the asking price new, and certainly isn't worth $800. Maybe someone who doesn't know the history of this watch might pay the ridiculous price. |

All part of the WIS game. Someone wanting one bad enough may just fork out the coin for it. Then you have that flip side of the coin where some WIS sells a $2500 beauty for like $750. The WIS arena is full of all kinds and types of folks. Some Hobbiest in it for some profit others just in it for the fun/joy of it. ;) |

You know I have this exact watch which I bought at Costco for $249.00. I think the retail on this was around $500.00, so if he sells this I'm gonna sell mine for sure.....face4.gif or maybe not, lol. Last edited on Mon Aug 11th, 2008 02:48 pm by Goofy |
