Buying Watches From eBay: Is it Ever A Good Idea? Ep #9

Published: July 3, 2020, 9 a.m.

Jon gets the ball rolling by telling us about Schitt\u2019s Creek, which is apparently a TV series rather than a place we\u2019ve often found ourselves up without a paddle. It can be easy to get there by buying a watch on eBay too, but there are many weird and wonderful bargains to be had if you\u2019re careful. Anthony and Ben cast a quick eye over what has caught their attention in the eBay classifieds, ranging from some Frankenstein-like monsters to other stuff that\u2019s surprisingly cool. And there\u2019s a theme emerging to what we\u2019re liking this week: skin divers (lightweight dive watches that is, not people who go diving in the nude). There\u2019s a great new dive watch out from Glashutte (which polarises opinion) and an established alternative from Delma, while Tim revisits his two wonderful vintage Caravelles.
