When Chris posted his HERE, the lust began. It's so unusual, and I shouldn't like it...but I love it! The dial/hands are awesome, and the crystal should clean up nicely with a good polishing. The pushers are functioning nicely, and the hands snap back to zero. The case has a few minor dings, but still has it's original brushing. I put it on an undersized tropic strap for the time being, I'll get something proper ASAP.  |

Not only is it a fantastic addition to the collection , but I personally feel its a great addition to add to properly round out the vintage Swiss end of the amazing collection you already have. 7dfe79adc2f0 |

When I first started collecting watches in 2000 I started with Bulovas. I've passed on more 2 crown Super Compressors and mechanical chronos and never seen before or seen since divers and military watches for under $30 than I can remember (I was poor back then)  That one is nice. |

Never too late to start Josh. Get those Super Compressors!!! They used to be $40 and the SS cased Korean War issue Bulovas were $15 I'll have to stick with the 2 WWII I've already got. I'm moving to MS and not spending any more money. I'm just about back the square one after a month paying cash for my truck and all of the unnecessary parts I put on it.   I bought this one for the classic caseback after I cheaped out on too many others before it   1966 dress watch imposter. How much is a 1966 Rolex Explorer going for today?   |

If I would have been down there I would have been on the front porch with my shotgun and a case of beer and told them to back down the hill and get the phuck out of dodge if they knew what was best for them. 1 road in. 1 road out. 1 mile up that road. If you don't live here you have no business on this road. You'll have to have Spencer use his NSA contacts to get you the GPS coordinates :rofl: The lot between me and the lake will slowly and subtlety be clear cut over the next year after I move to improve my lake view.    |

I guess what I'm trying to ask you is this. When I'm in Starkville again, which will be soonish, and I wanna look you up, how far will you be from there? |

Oh no you didn't  This is Ole Miss "The School Up North" territory  I am currently 750 miles away in WI rotting away. I do have 5 weeks of 4R4B flu sick days I need to use that Ive accumulated over the last 2 years so if you are in the area I GUESS I COULD rearrange my life and for a meetup if you do outcalls  I know my neighbor David misses me and I will never forget the first thing he said to me back in 2006 when I first went down there: "I sure am glad you're white" |

The roof had to be replaced and I'm thinking of driving up there to make sure the re-roof is being done right. I was curious if you were there yet and maybe we could go for a beer a some deep-fried ribs. |

Great pick-up Tim... That faded bezel against the white dial looks amazing. Great strap choice too. Enjoy it!
