    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. :D

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

    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....::censored::
    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!::love::

    Replacement dial for my SM300. The minute marker at 57 minutes fell off. :thumbsdown:

    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
