    Let's share some of CL's best in this thread.

    This one had no pics:

    *******Israeli military watch, VERY rare, like-new, only $275**** - $275

    Extremely rare model, try to find one...ANYWHERE

    Rotating diver's bezel, titanium bracelet & case, self-illuminated dial & hands, shock resistant, and a Swiss-made movement! Weight wise this is a very light watch, especially for its size. In my opinion, this is a great quality, quartz-movement timepiece. Like-new condition, maybe wore a few times (don't remember if I wore it or not).

    Only $275.00 (CASH) firm (no offers, please). As rare and cool as this watch is, $275 is an absolute steal. You can pay $500+ for a Seiko that is mass-produced and easy to find. Wearing this you will probably never see another person wearing one. If you want an awesome-looking watch that is "one-of-a-kind," give me a shout.

    I was fortunate enough to have two of these watches, but sold one, and now only have this one remaining. Given the rarity of this watch, I am shocked that it hasn't sold. People don't buy Ferraris because everyone else has one!

    This would make a great gift, especially for a watch collector.

    Please call show contact info with any questions and/or interest and leave a message if voicemail kicks in.

    Thanks for looking. Have a great day

    People look at FS ads that don't have pictures?

    Yes, there are other watch communities that don't have requirements to post pics, etc. with ads.

    It was one thing in the mid-90s when digital cameras were new and expensive, now that's just silly

    If it looks any less Israeli than this, I'm not gonna bite:

    I think we can come up with both a boat and a car that are comparable in price!

    That's almost $4,500 in melt value so he's only about $15K high, maybe you can negotiate him down

    Sometimes, filtering through all that nonsense is necessary to come up with a "barn find". :unsure:
