This is a sample of the report every seller receives before being asked to decide anything. It shows the comparables, every cost, and exactly what we make. If you disagree with any line of it, say which line and we will show you why we put it there.

Every comparable above is linked in the email this came attached to, so you can open each one and check it yourself. Sold prices are what a watch actually changed hands for, which is a different number from what a seller is asking.
What a seller can actually get for this reference
| Who is buying | What they pay you |
|---|---|
| National online buyer, published rate for this reference | $7,200 |
| ClearCaseWatch, this report | $7,500 |
Large national buyers publish what they pay for a reference like 126300 on their own websites, which is where that figure comes from. That is a fair rate from a buyer with a real reputation. We show it because it is the honest comparison: not what a showroom charges a retail customer months later, which is a price you cannot collect, but what a buyer will actually wire you this week. Check it yourself before you decide anything.
How we get from there to your number
Three of those four lines are costs we pay whether this sells well or badly. The last one is ours. If the watch takes four months to sell instead of four weeks, the $695 is what shrinks, not your number.
Paid by wire as soon as escrow releases. Ship it on our prepaid insured label, or we will drive to you.
