I've always wanted to check one out, and I was lucky enough to score this one, on a low BIN this morning. Sticky pushers, gonna need a crystal, hopefully the bracelet fits. The dial/hands appear to be in great shape, my fingers are crossed.   |

Ah hah, so you're the one who finagled a low BIN on that one... You beat me to it..!
I had it up on the screen, and was messaging the seller when POOF it changed to a sold BIN
I was actually asking questions about the tachy ring bezel.... Doesn't it look like its been shaved? Half of some of the numbers are missing or something.
Well congrats on that purchase, glad I didn't see it change to a BIN and snag it out from under ya!

Yeah, I asked him what her was looking to get for it, he told me to make an offer. He said he bought it at a garage sale for $1, so wasn't looking to get top dollar for it. Since there were no bids on it, I didn't feel too bad about making the deal. Good call on the bezel, it does look a little tight. Or perhaps it's just the angle, I guess I'll find out soon enough. |

Geeze, I need to start attending garage sales again! Nah, you shouldn't feel bad, heck I was about to offer the exact same price to him. |

It has the potential to be a fantastic deal, as long as it's in good shape inside. As far as the bezel goes, I can't understand why it would have been shaved... |

That's a top pickup. Seller got it for a dollar at a yard sale? Any amount above that is fair, even if it was $2.

Great catch! Judging by that deal you described, I'd say you got it for a song!

Great Score Tim! Bullheads are one heck of a chunk of metal on the wrist! Thanks Tom! I noticed the pushers are different on yours, did they vary? |
