I have the watch in the picture below which i brought my wife and she wore it once and never bothered again. I thought about ebay but i dont fancy the 10+% too much. it is also fairly high value (it cost £1345)

Is there anywhere else people can recomend i sell it for a decent price?

    The two biggest sites for trading watches are timezone.com and watchnet.com.

    If you have the original box, paperwork and all the links for the bracelet you might get around 50% of the retail price of the watch.

    You could also try a local jewellers, but they would normally buy in at around 33% of retail and sell at around 66%.

    You may also have a problem selling Gucci on Ebay, they can get really arsey and cancel the listing.
    Get a buyers valuation from at least 3 reputable jewellers/

    BTW, why does your wife not wear it ?, is it because she feels vunerable wearing it out and about.
