Been sorting through boxes at home. I have a Logines Opposition L3.617.4 in original box practically new, needs battery as it has not seen the light of day for 15-16 years.

Where is best to sell it?
ebay or Chrono24 - worth in the region of £600-£800 I would estimate.

Thanks Bob. Ex wife gave it to me, so little sentimental value 😃
Late to the party, but what a great thread! I didn’t realise just how much I liked watches. Or indeed how much I knew about them and the various makers.
While I’m here, professional watch photographers must have one of the best jobs out there. They seem to have a lot of time on their hands (unavoidable pun).
Does anyone know what they actually do either side of 10 past 10?
Not sure if there are any other fans of the BBC Sounds Podcast "Sliced Bread", but a very enjoyable, relevant episode on there.
What is keeping the traditional watch industry ticking over?
The entrepreneur, Sam White, hosts Dough - the BBC Radio 4 series which looks at the business behind profitable everyday products and where the smart money might take them next.
In each episode, Sam, and the futurist, Tom Cheesewright, are joined by product manufacturers and industry experts whose inside knowledge gives a new appreciation for the everyday things that we often take for granted.
Together they look back on a product’s earliest (sometimes ridiculous!) iterations, discuss how a product has evolved and the trends which have driven its profitability.
In this episode on traditional watches, they hear from expert guests including:
Mike France - Co-founder of the British watchmaking company, Christoper Ward Fflur Roberts - Head of Luxury Goods at the data analytics company, Euromonitor International Laura McCreddie-Doak - A freelance watch journalist who has written for publications including Wired, GQ & The Times
They trade opinions on traditional watches 'game-changing' innovations and their most pointless, or least effective, ones too, before Tom draws on his expertise as a futurist to imagine what the wristwatch might be like in the decades to come.
Just bought a Garmin Fenix 8 for running as sick of running with my phone. Wow what a watch. Thoroughly recommended for anyone wanting a running watch ⌚️

Absolutely the watch I would buy if the Apple Watch Ultra didn’t exist, proper beast of a device
They do some nice style watches, fairly basic (cheaper end) movements on some models.
I did look at the Palmer 36mm GMT and very nearly bought it. The Palmer had the much better Sellita SW330-2 Top Grade and I like the quick release straps.

If you go into the Swatch Shops in Oxford St, Carnarby St or Covent Garden they usually have the full range available.
Still can't buy them online (I think)
Likd the New oyster perpetual... pistachio one is smart too

Just picked up the Baltic Scalograph Tour Auto. Love the design
(This is a sophisticated thread…..so no way will someone post a Kenneth Williams picture).

Overal decent value on most models.
