Dibs are crucial...this is how I got this watch, and have moved numerous ones.

That is the beauty of OF...when the time is right, you never have to list FS because someone one the Dibs List takes it.

What is even more insane is that I wired a very large sum of money to someone I text and message with, but have never met...yet I have 100% confidence in because of OF.

I thought that patina develops when the watch is in storage in the dark. When it's worn and exposed to a lot of the sun's UV the patina actually lightens up.

I am with you. The Rolex I own with the best patina spent most of their early days in a drawer or safe, but I am far from an expert.

Honestly, with this crew, and most collectors I know globally, the only thing that worries me is shipping, and that is why you have ParcelPro.
