He was asking way too much in my opinion

 

I will probably never use this but it sure looks cool

 

I've told this story here before - it'll take me less time to re-type than search, copy and paste.

My first decent watch was a Rolex Sub which I bought as a favor to a friend who had just got a job at an AD. This was around 1989 and I had just turned 21.

You know, help him out a little.

36 payments of like 70 bucks per month and that bad boy was all mine.

I still have the watch. Looking back, I should have "helped him out" with like every Rolex made... lol

I did buy 2 more including a used 1962 SS black gilt datejust which I also still have. I don't remember exactly but I think it was 800 bucks. The only reason I bought it was because he got extra commission plus big year end bonus points on watches nobody wanted.

 

A big vintage marble clock.

Why? I really don’t know

 

Cool clock! Were the sunglasses part of the deal?

 

Haha they are almost as vintage as the clock.

Not allowed to wear them though, my girlfriend hates them.

I always feel like Tony Montana when wearing them

 

Normally a very good €/kg ratio with these when compared to other vintage time pieces! Having said that not quite so good for your fuel coefficient on the return trip though

 

As long as she is fine with the huge marble block in your house I guess you're fine

 

Fabulous piece of Art Deco ! ......Congratulations.....Will clean up nicely

 

So you're also a big fan of Scarface; I thought that clock looked familiar...

 

Hahahaha great photoshop skills

 

EDIT: Wrong thread, sorry! Bought it years ago...

 

Picked this up today. A beautiful (I think) 145.022-69 with a 1039 bracelet.

 

Arrived today from the wonderful world city of Montreal, Quebec. High grade movement. From the estate of a local merchant banker...

 

A Pola to keeps my Pole company

 

You're pretty good at this hobby of ours.
