    Hi ppls,
    my apologies, I am not good at keeping up with dibs. I thought there were some on this OS Compax?
    that might be a nice feature for OF actually, a dibs system that would keep track of it for you ?!
    thx
    Ben

    I never realized the "dibs" were for real. I've got to be faster in the future. What's the size of that beauty?

    somewhere between 36-36.5mm

    I try to honor dibs with at least a courtesy check before posting a FS in the main section. With this one I think there were a few, I just can't remember offhand and I'm not sure if it's possible to find them with a search function?

    headed over the sales forum as soon as I get time for a listing, no historical dibs have manifested ! Maybe I was imagining things ::screwloose::

    I have tried to honor dibs in the past but my dibsters always backed out.

    You did your bit then! Dibs does not carry an obligation to conclude the deal from the buyer's end, esp. since the offer price is at the seller's discretion. I regard it as an expression of serious interest, a right of first refusal.

    My problem is keeping track of who called dibs. Anyone have a good system?

    You could always quickly jot it down in a Google doc...that way you can look at it from any computer or phone.

    I just assumed that dibs stood for "Don't Intend to Buy Sh**!"

    Being relatively new to OF, it became evident that declearing “dibs” was an indication of pretty serious level of interest-at least at the time one declared it.

    I keep a simple, single spreadsheet of my watches, purchase dates, costs and service dates, etc - and have simply entered the username of the person declaring first dibs in that document.

    I was the dibser

    Unfortunately, I was on night shift on 24s in a surgical internship, so was not checking OF...

    Dammit :(
