·I figure that anyone who’s sold more than a few vintage watches has a funny, perhaps painful story to share about their experiences, whether it’s something common like an unreasonable buyer who expects quartz-like precision or proof that every piece is original to other strange or unique experiences.
I met with a gentleman a few months back who was interested in a watch I had listed for sale locally on Craigslist. We met, he liked the watch but said he didn’t have any money with him as his property management company had withdrawn money out of his account that day for strata/HOA fees (leaving him with less than the list price of $250 in his account... right). He said he would call in a couple of days when he was paid and pick up the watch - I knew this wouldn’t happen and that my dealings with this guy had been a waste of time. Nevertheless, he surprised me a few days later with the following text, which was kinda creepy but humbly appreciated 😀
