Watch that I have built

[Joe.watches]

Hi this is a watch that I have built what would be a fair price to retail this watch at?

 

[Joe.watches]

It has a NH35 movement inside

@Geonor , your area of expertise

Well it definitely has an NH35 and if you bought your parts from AliExpress as most people do then you paid around $80-$130 depending on which store you bought from. Whatever work you want to charge for above that isn't on me.

Oh yes, gosh, I almost forgot my office....

If you read the sales rules then you know about the non-profiteering rule/principle.

So, returning to your question, the fair price to retail this piece on RWI is how much you paid for it.
If you intend to charge your own labor as well then you need to also become a patron and sell in the collector's watch corner.

To sell in the first place on RWI you need to get certified (separately from subscribing for patron).

You have to base your price on actual costs of parts (with proof) and some basic info on the watches journey… ie: original factory, when purchased, what work you did ect. But above all … read the sales rules first

Thank you I built it three years ago during and it’s been sitting in the draw since. Just wanted to know if it was worth anything as I seen other builds going for £200+ on here. Thanks for your info

@Geonor is spot on parts pricing
Then it's only 1h max assembly work, with no special case work, or ageing work, ghost date
Seiko or no branding

You will need to be a Patron to charge work, so if it's just a one-off... My advice would be to list it at used parts price only.

Plus there is the aspect of modder reputation. I would pay premium for Geonor's work, probably not for a one off seller.
