So my Ambien induced purchase arrived. At first I thought it was a dog- movement was banging around inside, crystal was wiggling (too small), and there was so much gunk under it I thought the dial was nasty. But it was keeping time.
Brought it to my watch handy friend, the tabs on the movement ring were not contacting the back- easy fix, crystal that was in it was 28mm, it should have been 31- he had a new one on hand, dial cleaned up beautifully with a sticky swab.
Stainless TK&co case at 36mm which is perfect, 17j Standard time movement- great dial- can’t complain for $100. Thank you Ambien- I would have passed on this if I had been of conscious mind.

Never ever drink and bid. A cautionary tale to be sure.

Congrats to both on the Sicura with the beautiful dial— and the Ambien-induced purchase.
They both look very nice.
@High Hope, next time you place an 8000 dollar bid by mistake, you should note there is a feature to withdraw your bid exactly for that kind of occurrence. But perhaps your mind was not functioning well enough to find it 😉
And it looks like this worked well for you, it’s a super cool dial— and the handset with red paint is terrific too.

Thanks Syrte, I appreciate it. Where is the “Oh shit!” Button? I’ve never heard of it. 😲
