I as usual was scouting my local Craigs list and found this one about a week or so ago......... It wasnt exactly local as the watch was in Santa Monica but I contacted the seller anyway to inquire more about it. His initial asking price was a bit more then I had wanted to pay so I bypassed it. Later on about a week goes by and I see it for sale again and the price was reduced by almost in half! I contacted him right away and asked if he would take Paypal and he said no as he didnt use it. Certified funds would be OK so I said I'll take it and whisked him off a MO for it the next day. Yesterday came and I got a text telling me the funds had arrived and they would send out on Tuesday as they were out of town until Monday evening. Keeping my fingers tightly X-d in the hopes this guy isnt just some flake! IF it shows up like I'm expecting it to do I think I got a hell of a watch at a hell of a good price.............

Assuming I get the watch and assuming it's in as nice of condition the seller stated it was I think I'll end up with a rather unique and scarce watch! (and......... the price was excellent!)

Good luck . . . I hope it does get shipped. I wouldn't worry too much. There are still lots of honest people in the world. If it doesn't show up, you have his address and the Postal Inspectors will knock on his door. I believe mail fraud is a felony.

Close but it takes an hour to drive the couple miles to get there. Traffic to Santa Monica is the worst!
