    Over on the UG forum, someone was recently surprised that dibs are "real," that they are taken seriously on this forum. So I thought we would start a thread with watches that we have only because the seller honored a dibs. You can name the seller if you like, but you don't have to.

    Here’s my dibs Connie thanks to @BartH
    He was quicker to respond to an OF sales post than I was but I dibsed immediately.
    Glad I did. Enjoying this thread!
    (And this watch)

    Thanks for being so discreet, but I'll confess ... it was me. I didn't know that dibs are real. ::shy::

    I actually assumed it was just a fun way to say how much we admired someone's watch. Now I need to go back and see who might have posted "dibs" on any of my watches, since I never paid serious attention. :thumbsdown:

    Does dibs obligate you to buy the watch, or if honored give you the right of first refusal?

    What is the suggested protocol, when you Dibs on a post, but the Owner doesn't acknowledge your Dibs?

    I wasn't actually suggesting that the FM had ignored my Dibs, I think what happened, was there were so many posts, that they probably didn't notice my Dibs...
