Glad y’all didn’t start trashing a seller you didn’t know was a member here and kept it focused on the watch.

Hence my post, the first reply in this thread. I didn't know the seller at the time and didn't care. I let the watch do the talking. 😁

Even though Fred buys watches by the pound, disses my Ranchero at every opportunity, and moved to Florida so that he can take advantage of the 4:30 early bird special at Denny’s, I still agree with his assessment that it’s an honest watch.

I know you have 5 of these with Marcos DNA on them tucked away, Fred.

What do you think I'm made of money? I'm parked in the back at closing time to see what they're tossing in the dumpster.

Apparently, you're not one of the Chosen. That's how we do business.

That's my infantile response when I'm jealous of someone or something. I go on the attack. To put it in a simple example you are familiar with, I'm like George Costanza.

@TheGreekPhysique thanks for chiming in! I wasn’t aware you were a member here.

For clarity, the reason I posted the question here without including the full listing is:

1. I’ve been burned before posting a “what does everyone think”, and having one of those who chimed in swooping on the watch. While I trust that most here wouldn’t behave that way, there are lurkers…
2. I left out the timing comments simply because they are stated, versus proven. Obviously an unknown seller can claim just about anything. So knowing that you’re known here helps a lot.

Assuming it’s still available, I now have more info to consider. If it’s been snatched up already, I hope the new owner wears it in good health!

This is too self reflective and insightful to be Fred, Janice- let Fred out of the basement!

One might have insightful moments from time to time. It in no way implies any improvement on the horizon. 😁
