Selling off large parts of my collection

Post08 Mar 2011, 19:09

I guess most people that remember me might already have noticed i haven't been active since ages. I kinda gave up on collecting simply as i amassed way too many watches and to be honest there's only about 3 i ever wear. I feel it's a shame to have them rotting in the safe so i wanna give them into good hands before i just dump them on ebay.

You might already know some from the gallery here. I might be willing to give discount for bulk buyers. It's too many to list all of them, so here's a few "highlights" that might interest someone.

- HP-01 calculator LED watch with some accessories
- Sinclair black watch - rare "Grey" edition
- Wittnauer LED/LCD dual display, NOS
- "Lets F**k" watch (Watch is not censored)
- Hughes aircraft message watch (2 different types)
- Pulsar Ladies watch (2 different styles, NOS)
- Bulova big block


and so on... If you're lookin for anything special then just lemme know. I can make pictures, get into detail and so on.

Yes, it has been a while since we've heard from you. Sorry to hear you are getting out of the 'collecting' community.... but it's ncie to hear that you are letting some of these old jems recirculate.
Just curious - what are the 3 watches that you can't part with. :?:

Well collecting watches became quite an addiction for me and a quite costly one. The 3 watches i still wear are actually the Longines Gemini II, green compuchron and Seiko Pulsemeter.

Sorry to be losing a fellow collector, I know that you where quite an enthusiast in your time :-(

I had a look at your gallery the HP-01 is a nice set http://www.dwf.nu/Gallery/displayimage. ... play_media

Are the Hughes message watches that you mentioned the programmable 29mm type?

The HP-01 is in good working condition. Yeah definitely worn but not "beaten up". I wore it rather rarely as i find it very heavy. I have some accessories with it like the original box (Inlay got lost however), original instructions manual, short reference card and stuff.

The hughes are the programmable type. I have one very nice branded one and one casual style SS.

Either send me an offer for any you are interested in or let me know which one. I have too many to make a detailed price list.
