An Omega for a likker-cycle.

Great find for you, but how very sad for the son….he didn't really know what he had. He could have the scooter and at least 10 years worth of gas.

Cjmani, I am more sympathetic toward the father. In the son's case, he had opportunities and choices. I bet the dad did not. I'll imagine this was the dad's prize possession. That was my obsession to make it right in honor of the dad. 👍

And so far you are representing and honouring him well... 😉 👍

Thanks, Dablitzer! Now how many Deluxes did you say you have? I could represent and honor them well! Know what I mean?😁

We simply say "dibs", but I assure you you'd have to be put on the waiting list. 😉

I'm not sure of all this talk of the kid 'deserving' to have been cleaned out by the shop keeper. I think that none of us here know him, or his situation.

I'm also uncertain of the notion that the keeping of the watch somehow honors the original owner, father of the son who was cleaned out by the shop keeper. At the very least, to the extent the father is 'looking down' and appreciating that his watch has found a home, there's a good chance that appreciation is mightely outweighed by a dislike for those reveling in his son's misfortunes.

At best, someone's significant gain from another's significant loss should be taken in some quiet humility.

I offered $3500 and was given the supreme priviledge of caring for this treasure!
