Chrono24 or ebay via their certified scheme. Post them here I'm always trawling the watch sales.

Sold my Batman on Ebay before the certified system so ended up with F2F exchange.
i have 2 watches up for sale with Vintage & Prestige here in the UK
they sold my Breitling recently and am sending them another for a friend. Nice guy and very knowledgable - decent rates and saves you the headache of being involved with annoying buyers
I traded watches for years so was glad to avoid it now

Just been pointed to this. Was formally part of a forum that mainly resurrected the originals. But it was always a headache. Now someone finally threw some money at them and voila.

American Classic PSR Digital Quartz | H52414130
In 1970, Hamilton changed the way the world told time with the debut of the Hamilton Pulsar. Fifty years later, the Hamilton PSR celebrates the launch of that revolutionary first digital watch. Today, a hybrid display and a stainless steel case bring this game-changing invention back to the future.

Currently have a major hankering for a 39mm blue Longines Legend on a nato. But also have a house to finish off so won't happen.
I have one of the Hamilton remakes - I think they really missed a trick.
With the original 70s Pulsar, you pushed a button to read the time and the Hamiltons faithfully copied this.
Later model Pulsars had "flick the wrist" actuation which is a vastly superior system.
Modern Casio G Shocks cost 10% what the Hamilton does and have "twist the wrist" to automatically activate the backlight at night so it can't be a complex or expensive mechanism.

I think I'd rather go for a dirty great Invicta lol
I have a 16600.
I wanted a date, didn't want a cyclops. Was the only model in the range in the early 2000s that met these requirements out of the box.
I have never understood the cyclops. Most folk will look at the date once a day versus innumerate readings of the actual time of day. So why prioritise the cyclops and distort the hands ? It's madness and unsurprisingly no other manufacturer does this to any great degree. To me its akin to mounting a car's spare tyre on the boot so it's easy to change wheel.
The proporions of the two watches are different so you should go to a dealer with a decent stock and look at them side by side really. The Sea Dweller has rather flat/ utilitarian protruding crystal with a prominent edge (which also helps save your bezel from getting scratched). Thicker case - so it stands higher on the wrist and therefore has a slightly smaller dial.
Another option is to buy a regular Sub but get a repair shop to put in a crystal without the cyclops. Keep your original cyclops crystal so you can return it to original should you ever sell it.

No date sub. the date on the sea dweller is too small to be of any use. Also the Sub is the OG submariner and classier in every respect.
See what I mean? I understand having the cyclops with the date but the sea dweller doesn't have it. I'll always take a no date variant if available.
Thanks chaps, yes ultimately i’m wanting the no date sub but got offered this and just wanted to check but it has a date and wasent sure how the size was
i’ll keep holding out for a 14060

Rolex Seadweller 16600T | Vintage And Prestige
Our Rolex Seadweller 16600 / 16600T, also known as Seadweller 4000, is one of the last pre ceramic Seadwellers manufactured, bearing a M *** Serial number.

The Subs have always been much more popular than Sea Dwellers. I don't see that ever changing.
Just watch out as Rolex went uber blingy around this time. That particular Sea Dweller has the no drill shoulders (which I prefer) and does not have ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX repeatedly inscribed in the inner bezel as many of the modern Rolexs have which I despise
Be patient and get what you want or you'll always regret it

Bobs watches gives a great explanation on this
The Last of the Best? The Rolex Submariner 14060 | Bob's Watches
The Rolex Submariner has been constantly evolving since it debuted in 1953, and many collectors consider the Submariner 14060 to be "the last of the best."

Brought back a load of moonswatches from China for a stag do. The groom collects the real ones so thought it would be a giggle if we all suddenly had one. Was shocked at how plasticky (sorry bioceeramicy) the real ones are, TBH the fakes seemed a bit better as they had a screen protector. Worked out at £15 each

I’ve got a couple of repairs needed to my old faithful F1 pro and a Monaco that could with a service & clean. Does anyone have any recommendations on a trusted service centre, save me just picking a google result? Many thanks.
What you guys think about the Rolex Sprite?
I kinda like it, for left wrist.
Becoming more obtainable at AD if u have history. Love the Pepsi too but it seems the Bezel issues are giving them a real headache so not coming out of AD at all.
I thought the Bezel issue was just BS to hike grey market price until I did more research. Seems like it’s true.

Sprite dropping in value. A poor effort in my opinion. Wouldn't touch with a barge pole.
I like the green black dial on Jubilee but could I handle the odd configuration….
My worry would be if they brought out the orthodox version.
Any thoughts on the Bruce Wayne?
My Mrs wants the Zombie, think may be a bit big for her though. She loves her TT Datejust but wants bigger, sporty.
I like the bw or guiness. Still think a no date sub is what I'd go for though.
