Seiko 7A38 - by the numbers

Hi Paul,

I used to be an investment banker.  Particularly in the film finance sector.  Now I make dumplings since i'm a 10th generation dumpling maker.  Anyhow, I was wondering if you would consider a sales forum here?  Specifically for 7Axx.  I think that would be pretty cool.  What would be even cooler, and I may help, is to actually be the first site to have a running valuation on these watches.

This could only work if you have a sales forum.  For example, you have a seller and then a buyer.  Forum rules would have to state that the final execution price would be logged. Depending on my time, I think I could handle that.  Then by de facto, you'd e ventually generate a spreadsheet of 7Axx models and their average sale price.

I think this type of information, basically 7Axx valuations, is just as important as any other type of tech manuals or how-tos out there.

In fact, if you can somehow block non-members from seeing the actual value, you could monetize this database by having them pay in order to see the current value of a partiucular watch their interested in.

I know this would take a lot of coding (which I can do as well as my grandmother), but it could be a great resource and possible income stream to help suppport this site.

Well, that's my two cents.  Thanks for reading!

Hi Meng.

I already googled you last night. Found what I presume is your Linkedin profile - and the Asia films connection. 

I think I'm a few weeks ahead of you with the Sales forum. Try scrolling to the bottom of the main forum page.

I've been logging selling prices on some 7A38's - particularly the expensive Cartier Ferrari Forumula variants for a couple of years.

I've recently started making notes of the eBay selling prices for some of the more significant Seiko 7A38 models too.

You'll see them popping up in the various threads in the 7A38-xxxx model specific area, as it progresses. 

That's awesome!  By the way, everytime I see your avatar, I get a stirring ... 

Ah yes, my film days ... "I keep trying to get out, but they keep pulling me back in!"
