  Take it to a reputable highstreet establishment with a suitable clientel and ask them to sell it for you on commision. No fuss, no freudulent claims of it being a fake after sending it (this is huge now on ebay - people buy the watch, send the money, complain to ebay/paypal and show a fake that they say you sent them. Ebay/paypal cancel the transaction, and you've gained a fake and lost an original). I own a submariner, and would never have bought it over the internet.

  I like the idea of taking it in to somewhere reputable - unfortunately, the place I should take it too is the place that I bought it and they did me a huge favour in allowing me to jump the waiting list to get it in the first place!!!
  
  I take on board what you're saying about Ebay - I hadn't heard about the scenario that you describe but knew that I didn't want to go down that route hence why I thought people here may have some experience of selling and buying.
  
  I recently upgraded my submariner to a sea dweller & the jewellers I mentioned above didn't make a great offer as part of the upgrade - they suggested Ebay would get me a better price but fortunately I was able to find a friend of a friend and sold it privately.
