Fed,

Asking out of curiosity…how do you decide what watches to list on Delray and the dealer market vs just list on Delray?

Im torn between these two watches at nearly the same price (14500 vs 17500). I'm not into investment and do appreciate both. Also I understand Bovets are rarer but if one is definitely not worth it then I'd rather go for the other. Any advise? Thank you.

Been eyeing a near mint blue dial Mark XX. It’s a full set and listed for $4800 but negotiable from a private seller. Want to be fair also want a good deal. What price should I shoot for?

Couple of questions for Federico:

1. Do you have interest in taking trades from the FTW members for watches on the Dealer Market?
2. Any plans for an FTW member marketplace where we could offer personal pieces we’d be interested in selling or solicit watches we are looking to buy within the FTW Member Community? If so, how would that work? Not looking to turn this into a private Chrono24 by any means but it would be cool if members could buy/sell/trade internally.

My friend's dad passed away recently, and he asked if I wanted to buy his dad's watch (or help him sell it). It's a 1990 16220 (Silver dial, Engine Turned Bezel, Oyster bracelet) with box/papers.

I feel like I could give him a fair price on that... because there are probably thousands of comps I could compare with :)

What i don't know about is the engravings on the case back.. It has his Dad's name, the IBM logo, then the date November 1990.

It's in ok shape, zero service history (as in.. I know the history: it's never been serviced).

Does this IBM Engraving hurt, or increase the value?

If I buy it, I want to give him a fair price (the money goes to his mom). If we sell it i don't want to go into getting offers blind. What do you think would be a fair price for a basic 16220 w/oyster and a personalized caseback?
