For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers
- New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
- Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.
If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.
Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.
I am offering my Shellman Grand Complication for sale. It comes with both the bracelet (illustrated) and a deep blue croc strap and tang buckle.
The watch was purchased from the New York distributor and the bracelet directly from Shellman in Japan.
It includes extra links. Shellman also provided a little tool for link removal.
The original boxes for both the watch and bracelet are included and the original receipt for the bracelet. I do have an instruction sheet for adjusting the watch but I have misplaced the original receipt and docs for the watch. However, it is guaranteed genuine. The watch is about 16 monts old. I only wore it with the strap a few times and twice with the bracelet. It gets no wrist time now, hence the sale.
My price for everythig mentioned, which is firm, is $975.00USD plus shipping.
I will accept wire transfer, international money order or PayPal (plus 3.5%) on this one.
Thanks for looking.

Below is a description of the watch from the Shellman website.
Shellman creates the world's first super-complication-watch with quartz movement. The company has developed the world's first "practical super-complicated high-grade watch", naming the masterpiece "Grand Complication".
Shellman Grand Complication includes four main complicated functions such as the minute repeater, perpetual calendar, split second chronograph and moon phase, and presents you with a blessed moment for easily appreciating the essence of the high-grade watch adopting quartz movement planned and studied by Shellman.
Shellman selects quartz movement as a function of Shellman Grand Complication for loyal watch lovers, and strongly believes that the movement provides them with the convenience and quality of mechanical watches at an affordable price.
Although we watch lovers and specialists tend to assume that with quartz movement the complications are less sophisticated, Shellman Grand Complication is clearly a work of art comprising a moon phase disk gilded in genuine gold and silver and multi-layered Guilloche dial, compares to the works of Swiss mechanical complication.
Shellman Grand Complication's Minutes Repeater has a sophisticated function that tells the hours and the minutes with two distinct chimes, and by synthesizing three types of frequencies, recreates the sound of a mechanical watch.
A specially ordered case is used in order to make the sound it makes as similar to that of a mechanical repeater as possible.
Shellman Grand Complication is equipped with the function of checking time several times per checking by one hand in addition to the function of stopwatch.
Also, the watch is equipped with 60 minutes and 12 hours accumulated mete, and mounts a 1/4 second step motor specially for chronograph second hand so as to recreate the movement similar to the mechanical type.
Shellman Grand Complication comprises a plated moon phase disk for adjusting the 29.5 day lunar cycle.
The disk recreates the enamel coating found only on the most precious antique masterpieces.
