·In that time, I have of course made numerous friends online, but have only had a face-to-face with another member twice. That is until last week.
Rich posted about his fathers Soccer Timer here, and mentioned he was in Podunk, Arkansas. I suspected that was pretty close to where I live. I reached out to him, we exchanged phone numbers, and had several nice conversations.
He wanted to sell the watch, and I recommended he sell on this forum or on eBay. I offered to help in any way he would like. But after a few discussions, he made it clear he wanted to sell it to me. We agreed on a price and last week he dropped by with the watch, some left over parts from the service, and several good stories.
In addition to being a super nice guy, he is a real character. He grew up with, and remains best friends with, Richard Sternban, bass singer for the Oak Ridge Boys. We plan to get together again and swap more lies

The watch appears to me to be ~NOS condition, but decide for yourselves:
