Hey fellow watch collectors, I’m just over a month into watch collecting and have already gone crazy buying up everything that catches my eye. I’m hesitant to part with any of the beauties I have acquired, but I’m already finding they don’t get enough wrist time and would be better served in the hands of another collector. I imagine this crowd knows Formex very well; the Essence 39 is the ultimate go anywhere do anything (GADA) watch. The machining and finish on this guy is phenomenal, and research into the company and their sourcing (Google “Formex Dexel”) quickly reveals why. This watch exudes class while retaining tremendous utility thanks to the unique suspended dial design and micro-adjustable bracelet. As a time piece, the Essence 39 is second to none and comes with a COSC chronometer certificate. The 39mm size suits most wrists well, retaining presence without swallowing a wrist whole thanks to its svelte 45mm lug to lug width. This particular piece is a stunner; it’s a shame I don’t have any photography skills to speak of or lightbox, because the dial is a total showstopper. Formex releases 100 of these malachite dial watches each year and this one is from last year’s release. There are two superficial scratches wrist-side and one tiny scratch on the bezel (I suspect all can be removed with relative ease for a collector who knows what they’re doing) so I’m knocking about $400 off retail and offering this at $1499 shipped (vs $1860 new).   Brand: Formex Model: Essence ThirtyNine Dial Material/Color: Malachite (Green) Movement: Sellita SW200-1 (Chronometer grade with COSC certification) Bezel Material: 316L Stainless Steel Case Material: 316L Stainless Steel Glass Material: Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment Caseback: Sapphire crystal exhibition caseback Diameter: 39mm Lug to Lug: 45mm Lug Width: 20mm Water Resistance: 100m Price: $1499 shipped to the continental US (USPS Priority Mail with insurance). Formex sells these new for $1860 with a limited release of 100 pieces a year. Trades: Unless you have a Girard Perregaux Laureato to trade, I need to replenish my bank account for now so no trades 😊 Payment methods accepted: Zelle or Venmo Condition Notes: in excellent condition; one small scratch on bezel and some scratches wrist-side are visible with the naked eye (see pictures). Comes with all original packaging and accessories, including screwdriver, cleaning cloth, chronometer certification, owners guide and extra links.   I’m not a watch dealer so everything is sold as-is from my personal collection. If you’d like additional photos or video to see something specific about this watch, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have extensive selling/trading background outside the watch community that can be seen here: [https://www.heatware.com/public/u/6165](https://www.heatware.com/public/u/6165) Thank you for reading/looking!
