Hi all,

What the heck, right? These WTB ads have worked well for me in the past, so might a well try again.

I am in need of a pre-pro dial for a 2998 as the one that came with a watch I bought is not very nice.

I know the market and have a good sense of prices, and I'm ready to go.

Ideally, an A5 (in MWO terminology), preferrably original, though I'd consider ones that are not in stellar condition as well.

If you have one, I'd love to hear about it. If money is not your thing, I have some parts to trade as well. Let me know what you need.

For reference, I hope it's ok to include this as it has all the details.

 

Certainly not as rare as the Base 1000 bezel is offering for trade for a domed dial, right?

 

I'd say you have as good of a chance as any since you're offering to buy or trade for parts. I really need to get myself one of those fancy books!!

 

It's Monday. It's snowing here. I'm still looking for a dial.

 

I'm in NYC, so maybe the watch gods or the mighty squirrels will smile on me.

 

I can feel the magic in the air, something good is coming....

 

getting closer......

 

jump the bump.

 

Hang in there, mate, I feel the universe is listening - it's just very busy at the moment

 

And found! Woot!

 

Awesome, persistence pays off big time!!

 

Time to offload one of those silly, duplicate Speedies with Alpha hands?

 

Okay, fess up...which one came to the party, the Watch Gods or the mighty squirrels? And what was sacrificed or promised?

 

I think it was both, plus a little self made luck. Seller on ebay had a 145.012 with a pre pro dial. I messaged him and informed him of the horrible offense.. I directed him to speedy101 and after reading up, he agreed that he had made a nearly unforgivable mistake. He asked if I had suggestions, so I offered a trade, which he accepted. There was a bit more to it, but that's basically what happened. We both made out equitably.

 

Great to hear it worked out for both of you. That self made luck (and perseverance) has got a lot going for it. And on another positive note, no first born will have to be given up...at least for the moment...

 

WooHoo
