    I don't want to sell this watch.

    IMG_4635-1.jpg

    Therefore, I'm not showing it on the new custom made Hadley Roma cordovan/burgundy alligator strap it currently is dressed with. Nor am I going to post any more pictures. Oh, and no mention of it being serviced within the last couple years either since none of you deserve a watch this classy. Well, maybe @Bill Sohne and @Tony C. do, but that's about it. I'm also going to set the asking price at $100,000 plus shipping of $5000.

    Don't bother contacting me either unless you have a serious offer. PM is preferred, or if you must call my phone number is 1-800-GET-LOST.

    Now beat it.

    Don't worry – most collectors want case backs. :rolleyes:

    I tried your 800 number and it sent me to the AT&T Global Fraud Management office in Crane, TX.

    I'm keeping the caseback unless the potential buyer wants to pay another $25000. :taunt: However, I am negotiable on this point. ;)

    Dude, you must be a fraudulent buyer then. :confused: :eek: I'll steer clear of you from now on! :p

    @DLT222, this dude is bumping his thread in the same day he listed.

    According to paragraph 1 (i), section 7 (vii), that is a violation of the Private Watches Sales forum rules.

    Edit: also, there's only two pics, and paragraph 1 (i), section 1 (i) clearly states that there should be a minimum of three pics posted.

    Let's keep this place orderly!

    Remember the scene in Indecent Proposal where they cover the bed in money and lay in it? The above photo is the squirrel equivalent.

    His commanding, "I'll take you down whatever it takes" pose made me think of this:

    You're close enough that it could be delivered by Toyota Express. ;)

    Depends on three things:

    1) It has to be a Pre-Moon.
    2) It has to be all original.
    3) You won't be surprised when it shows up listed for sale here the day after I get it.
