I didn't ask to keep them either but it would certainly have raised eyebrows if I HAD told them that is rather take the full watch with all stickers out the store...

I guess they could have fake ones on them, no? Don't seem too hard to replicate.

That guy seems to be the king of naked watches. I would venture to say 35-40% of his posts are of naked watches.

Black 15500 fullset mint went for 33k on Loupe This. Lowest I’ve seen it on a mainstream grey/auction channel.

This exact configuration sold in May ‘22 on the same site for 58.3k.

GGMT I saw one the other day on MODA for around $22k. Can't recall if it sold or not.

This guy here has 4 listings on TRF priced below market. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=889503

VTNR listed for $21K.

It could be a legitimate seller, but doesn’t look right. All pieces new or like new.

That is why you always do reference check so you got something to fall back but i doubt that guy sells stolen watch.

VTNR have moved quickly in 22.9 range. Probably worth looking into.

Wonder how quickly this will relay to declines on ROO... Still waiting for my turn but not at close to 60k after tax retail

The code was always selling below MSRP by a significant amount. Even at the height of the hype.

I joined MODA a long long time ago but never sold anything on there.

Go consign with luxury bazaar, TPT, or watch Eric. They are all good guys. He'll get it sold at market price with little drama and relatively quick.

Loupe this does have a 10% buyer premium so that would get it closer to other pricing.

just for clarification. the final price reported by loupe this includes the 10% buyer's premium. go to results and click on bid history. you'll see the final
sales price is 10% higher than the highest bid.

And when you think these were in the low 20’s a just few years ago, like 2019-2020… should have grabbed one at the time.

As were the 15500s (except blue at 29-31). Pretty good deal if it comes back.

Well, you could have a middleman from Moda do the verification and release payment after that. Or you could fly to Ukraine and pick it up :P

It looks like some of their listings have their nick written in them, but this piece selling for 16k uses the same pics as Faizan's BLRO sold at 19k in late Dec

Unless Faizan can confirm he sold it to them, I would proceed with caution

Edit: Seriously though, mods. With the amount of scam checking tike71 and I do, you should probably give us a free pledge membership

[Vince M.]

That is a total scam. ^^^

Anyone push red flag on these? I easily passed over these because they were obviously under priced and sitting, but I couldn’t confirm scam.

Total scam. Another good catch brother. You are the man

[T3rmina1]

There wasn't much doubt, but Faizan has confirmed in PM that it's not his buyer. Reported.

Listings are still up DESOMOJI is the seller. That’s why I initially posted these.
Doesn’t look right.

Eric is probably my favorite YT watch guy. But I think he is being overly optimistic on this one. Lol the fact he spent all of 30 seconds on Royal Oaks shows you exactly where they are headed price wise.

100% he’s my favorite too as he keeps it realer than most.

But it’s very clear that he’s feeling some pain now. Idk if you guys follow him on IG, but he’s been posting a lot more items “for sale” and “deals”, and the sense of desperation is quite salient.

I wish him the best though - seems like a super cool guy and the best watch personality imo.

[yachty 1]

I watched this one also, I was thinking the same thing. He's being pretty optimistic I think we have yet to hit the bottom.

Rolex I could see coming up a little bit the last couple of weeks (whether that is real or artificial is a different matter) but ROs are tanking.

Re: Rolex. Yea I’ve seen asking prices creep up, but they’re still only moving at their previous sales price.

Royal oaks - they are falling with no tested bottom. It’s clear that there’s way more runway to go…
