    I thought we were Birthyear buds but you keep finding all these beauties and not sending a single one my way! Nor are you parting ways with your vintage seamasters. WTH happened to our friendship?! haha beautiful watch, even for a Rolly.

    I came home tonight to three packages, always an exciting thing for a watch-obsessed pudwack like myself. Alas, none of the three are for me, and all will be heading across the Atlantic soon.:(

    First, we have a stash of straps, suitable for someone with no self-control and that has been posting in this thread too frequently:
    image.jpeg Next up is this gorgeous LeCoultre bumper. It has been a while since I held a bumper, I nearly forgot how fun they are. I may have to hold this for ransom for a while... image.jpeg
    Look at those lugs!! ::love::

    Finally was a surprise protected by yards of bubble wrap. I'm usually not one to do the whole unboxing but a full kit like this deserves it:

    Damn, there's a Connie in there!!
    image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg
    Even the buckle is cool: image.jpeg I'm going to hang onto these for a few days just in case @ConElPueblo decides to ship more loot to my house. You know, just to save on shipping.:whistling: In the meantime I'll be rocking this beautiful timepiece and telling everyone je suis l'American!

    :oops:

    I've stopped looking at eBay and the sales forum here... Honestly. Well, I'll stop looking. Maybe. Tomorrow.


    Really happy about the pictures; they are much better than the ones the sellers have provided. Looks like both of them are in the condition I expected them to be :)

    You're more than welcome to strut, eh, my stuff around - I enjoyed your Speedmaster immensely for a day or so too :D

    Hopefully, the next time I find an interesting piece in the US, the seller won't insist on using eBay Global Shipping :eek:

    No it does not on the Exp IIs - I only need 2 time zones for my travel so it works. My old GMT had a rotating bezel and never used it much. Tried to for timing steaks occasionally, but without the minute markers, it wasn't very effective.

    A Lemania cal 3065. Rare date version with sweep seconds.
    Not easy to see from the rather limited sellers pics, but I think it holds some promise.
    Cheese removal and PolyWatch in waiting.

    ;)
