    Just wanted to share my latest purchase and probably my last big purchase for the year. I'm pretty happy with this one! :)

    This was one of the pictures from the listing. I was a little hesitant to make a bid since I already have one package from the same country lost in the US postal system...:(

    But this is what showed up! Very sharp pink gold case and a god size too at around 35-36mm. The dial is super clean, almost looks new. Ref 12491 and it will be a keeper. :)

    Thanks! I thought hands were a bit skinny, but I could not find too much for this reference except these two other 12491s, both with different hands.

    Stunning example.... of crap photography in the original listing. If you set out to make a shit photo of this watch, I do not think you could have done a worse job. Where is this country where people hate money enough to do this?

    Good for you for rolling the dice, @kyle L . Who dares, wins!

    I actually saw this but I'm tapped out for the year, passed it on to a mate and he told me that he didn't end up bidding because he wasn't sure on how the watch going to turns out ::facepalm1:: I think the hands are a little bit too long, but such a clean example regardless. Well bought mate congrats!
