Shirley, you jest....


::rimshot::
So...is that Shirley, Massachusetts? Is that what that says? So...if I were a betting man, I'd bet $5 there's at least one Dunkin' Donuts in Shirley, Massachusetts. 馃榿

Nice! I had a watch come in while the Pope was in town, and I had a similarly long customs wait. Excruciating!

The stainless steel one is of no use to you... Gold 馃憤 trumps ALL!

Now...
.... can I take the 馃グ SS 馃グ one off your hands?!? (Mmmuahh, Ha-ha-ha-aaa...!!)

If not, can you indulge us, by showing us the -backs once again??

I've been wanting one of these for awhile, and now I have one!

Got lucky, and saw it go up on the PS Thread within it's first 45 minutes, and still barely got it!

Being stuck on the "semi-borders to the EU" I constantly have to wait for my watches. Fortunate to have good friends helping out to receive new arrivals on my behalf. My last batch of watches was in my hands 2-3 months after I bought them. Still have something waiting I will not see until mid December....馃が
Then again it is always nice to have something to look forward to, and I do have a couple of other watches to wear while waiting.
Your 294 appears to be in fantastic condition! Good luck with it!馃グ

Do any of you kind folk and good fellows know the proper crown for this Longines? I think I got a pretty good deal on it but I'll turn it into a bad deal if I put the wrong crown on it. I bet Dennis knows!

PS - this is a watch I could wear each day. Me like-y
