Delboy Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hi just a question can't get my head round this is it fair to pay €145.00 For a 21 jewel rep watch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 It's certainly pushing it a bit, but it depends on the 'options', and if it's an unusual model... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hi Teejay no it's just standard models It just amazed me.. Supposed to be reputable dealer you live and you learn I don't trust any of the trusted dealers anyway If it's a pretty standard watch, then yeah, that's definitely pushing it a bit for the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tode1640 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 As others have said, if it is like most A21Js then that is seriously overpriced. However, that is because A21J is usually put into a mediocre, or worse, watch. I have always thought that this is a pity - it is a very decent movement and there is no reason why it shouldn't be put into much better reps than it usually is. Were that to be the case, I would have no problem paying that sort of price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Can we know which watch? It's hard to comment when we dont have any information, and I do not see why you would not tell us this. A basic but good quality a21j watch is 40 or 50 on the street in Asia and around 100 from a dealer (us dollars) .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 This 21 jewel in question... A friend was offered this £145.00 + 7.00 postage He's new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 What everyone must understand is that the dealers are not required to provide a fair price .. you must do this yourself by shopping around among the dealers. Some extremely popular dealers have raised their prices radically recently and no one seems to notice or care. You can avoid this by simply shopping elsewhere. Watch Eden has your piece for 70 UKP shipped .. and by the way, I see that your photo shows a watch missing the date pusher. this watch has it. Make sure you use the Watch Eden $20 coupon savings code when you purchase. http://www.watcheden.biz/u-boat-italo-fontana-u-automatic-white-needles-with-black-dial-leather-strap-i-112684-p-1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
