    I'm selling these 3 watches for a friend of mine. He's selling those and another 3 that he'll give me when I'm done with those.
    Ther are all used. The Hublot and the GP were bought about 5 years ago and regularly used, so you can see the regular wear on them, the IWC was bought recently and looks brand new. No boxes, he has misplaced them or left them in Dubai, doesn't remember.
    I need to get a fair price on those so I can list them for sale...

    Here are the pictures... Thanks in advance!

    Hovik,

    If you can figure out the "reference numbers" for those watches (shouldn't be that hard, do a few internet searches) you can then search for relative values on the internet. Note there will be some variety here, but it will give you an idea. Eric may also be able to give you some values since he's sort of in the business (but I don't want to speak for him)... This is essentially what I'd do...

    That IWC UTC (Universal Time Coordinated -- a fancy way of saying "second time zone" or "GMT" (which is Greenwich Mean Time, not exactly UTC time, but similar)) is a cool watch... So is the GP Ferrari, but it's not really my color... Anyway good luck. Let us know what you want for them when you figure it out, maybe someone here will be interested...

    Hovik,

    You are going to have a bit of a tough time getting proper value for those pieces becasue of the lack of box and papers.

    Besides the IWC...they are also pretty worn which will once agin chip away at market value.

    Just to clarify...I'm NOT in the "business" but very close to people who are and hence have as much clarity as a wholesaler, retailer or private party.

    I hate to say this, but I thinkn eBay may be the best vehicle for you. You may want to try some watch forums...but it is very unlikely that these will sell due to the issues I mentioned. In addition, you need to have a "reputation" in the watch community to sell on most forums without hassle.

    Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss further...I'll do what I can to help.

    Actually, I was looking at it again... It's pretty cool... But honestly I'm not likely to want to spend much for it in its condition & w/out box, papers etc... But let me know what you end up asking for it. PM or just call me if you want.

    Good luck bro.

    No problem at all bro.

    Just wanted to clarify that I'm a collector...not a dealer (I wish I was a dealer :))
