Nanuq Posted February 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Crazy where the values are going! I predicted this for some small niche brands since Rolex prices are completely insane now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 WOW! What did these go for new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Read this and WEEP!! US Divers catalog from 1971Look at those Prices! Take note of the Black dial watch n the center the one with the “ No Radiations” symbol. That folks is a Blancpain AquaLung . Retail price 95.00 $No Black Lungs here as they were from around 1967 but I would bet they were actually a few dollars cheaper.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phener9 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 Yes, read and weep indeed if only I had bought just one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Too much Clive Cussler and Dirk Pitt, too few originals around to inflate the prices like this? Fortunately, in this case, there is a "next to best" - and it is an original too: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/doxa-sub-300-aqua-lung-edition-introducing Edited February 18, 2020 by Nightwatch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 And just like that, vintage Doxa has broken out into high end collectible territory.Closing price for the Black Lung: $12,600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Must not have made the reserve as it was relisted.Sorry my bad, it was the reissue Black Lung that was relisted. Also the “sketchy” one is still hanging around. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 You all do know that the Black Lung along with a few others are being sold by Mr. Doxa himself Rick Marai. Rick recently stepped down as the head of Doxa SA. Since Doxa is a privately held company owned by the Jenny family,there is no information as to why there was a management change. Rick was responsible for resurrecting the Doxa dive watches. Which while having great success in the late 1960’s,1970’s and early 1980’s, by the late 1980’s had ceased production. Under Rick’s leadership the modern Sub 300t was introduced in 2001 and the rest is history.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Just noticed the BL has been relisted. It’s also for sale on Chrono24. Asking price is 17706.00 USD. I suppose the reserve was not met on the first listing.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 More like the buyer backed out I think. The winning bidder only had 6 confirmed eBay transactions. I put in my big bid again and right away it’s back up to $10k on the ‘bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Since he is asking 17,706 ( weird number) on Chrono24 I would bet that he wasn’t selling at 12-13k. But, you maybe right could be the buyer thought it was 1200 not 12000!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Keeping my beady eye on the Titus Calypsomatic watches, only a matter of time with a lot of these lovely old classic divers watches. Oh the heady days days when i was buying 5513 Submariners in 1992 for 500 quid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted February 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 And now there's a plain-jane SUB300T with 46 bids, up to $6,500 Hmmmmmmm, there's another one just like it listed for $5,000 Buy It Now. That doesn't add up. Somebody has his thumb on the scale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Okay gents, everybody BE CAREFUL and DO NOT BID on that Black Lung on the 'Bay right now. The photos are exactly the same as the one that just sold for $12,000 and they're only accepting bids from outside eBay. They state the Buy It Now price is $3,500 and that's utter insanity. I offered $4,000 and they ignored me. This is a rip-off. Don't fall for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Another EBay scammer!! Unfortunately, someone will not heed the warning signs and get scammed. Money gone, no watch either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted April 4, 2020 Report Share Posted April 4, 2020 Just scanning thru EBay, sure seems like a good quality of high end Doxas, dials, bezels etc on EBay right now. Be very cautious, especially with parts. Bezels had very subtle design changes over the years. From the top, they all look identical, but from the bottom you can see the changes. Also beware of dials that have been “enhanced” with the Aqualung logo as well as the yellow dial Divemasters with the Poseidon logo added.
