One budget is $4,500 for an Omega or Panerai full set, and another buyer wants about five inventory pieces under $3,500. 200 posts say trades are welcome, open or considered. Several sellers are framing deals as end-of-month or 48-hour wholesale.
How we read the market: figures come from for-sale and wanted-to-buy posts in the buy and sell groups we follow during the period shown. Medians use posts with a stated price or budget, and the same watch can appear in more than one group. This is a read on the market, not an appraisal, price quote or financial advice.
