Dealer Wall Clocks – Another Timepeice to Collect
Posted by The Breitling Source under Clocks , General Posts[2] Comments
I’ve noticed that for the last year or two there have been a lot of Dealer clocks for sale on ebay, primarily Panerai, Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe are what I’ve seen, though the list is much longer than that. I’ve seen Breitling (And damn do I want one!), Blancpain, Tag Heuer, Jaeger LeCoultre and many, many others. My Question is this though: How do so many brand new dealer clocks end up on ebay and are always sold by some ebay company located in Canada?
And these clocks don’t go cheap.. anywhere from $400 to several thousand sometimes! And they are made of plastic usually. Some oddities always come up like Panerai Coffee table clocks as well. Really however, in the long run it is cheaper to buy lots of Panerai clocks than it is to buy lots of Panerai watches.. so maybe the asking price isn’t as high as one would think.
Still, they make neat additional items to supplement our watch collecting hobby and really allow us to personalize our homes and others spaces to reflect our interests! So next time you have $500 to spend if its not enough for a watch, it might be enough for a clock!

These are all 100% fakes from Taiwan. No doubt they are well done and nobody except an expert (or customs official) would ever be the wiser. These sell in Taipei for anywhere from USD 30.00 up tp USD 250.00 for fancy cases. Typical ones as sold on EBay cost about USD 40.00
These are not usually sold on the street market but most any fake watch dealer can point you towards the right shop. These are the same guys who make the medium quality fake wrist watches of every imagenable type.

This one I bought from a dealer in Boston who was closing….. I think that’s where you really have to find them if you want to ensure authenticity. I have the box it was shipped in. I know this was posted a while back I wanted to see your thoughts on the Rolex Clock I bought when Shreve, Crump, & Low lost their Rolex liscense.
