:) A PM is not really what I'm after. My question is why do you get special dispensation when selling your wares.

Everybody else, when selling anything here on DDk, understands the need to state a price.

I can see that if you had your own forum.. maybe a classic BMW forum, then you could do what you want but here on DDk you should follow the spirit of DDk and post a price for anything you advertise.

This is a bit of a business for you isn't it ? The website is pretty smart.

Mike I think I understand where you are coming from. It would be nice to see prices. I think they 'sometimes' offer better prices to DDK members. I rate both of them for their honesty. If you are in market for a new vintage watch I'm sure either would be happy to quote you and I've never been disappointed with the watches I've bought off them.

Very nice 8) GMT’s of all sorts are also my favourites, although I’ve just let my perfect 16700 go

Let's bring it down a notch:

Wanted, daily beater, robust, clear, waterproof classic style watch. I want to spanner, build, swim & ski wearing it. Don't want something precious. Well under £75 please. Secondhand or new. I've been looking at MWC on Ebay......I like old stuff, and plain stuff.
Anything lurking in a draw out there? W

I've got one of those. Simple and does all that you want. I thought they were a little more than £75 but ...
