Let me start by saying I like this watch. Problem is there's one I like more. 馃槣 Don't it always work like that?

Not sure of what year this was made but I'd estimate somewhere between 2007 - 2009. I bought it NOS as a leftover last year since it was discontinued a while back. The ETA 2982-A2 gains just over 1 second a day and is remarkably consistent - Steve / N2FHL ran it on his timing machine and the line was as flat as a dead man's cardiogram. The dial is a deep blue that has a fine sparkle at certain angles. The strap and deployant clasp are like new; taken off shortly after I got the watch and stored in the box - you can see them in the picture of the boxes and papers on the pillow and in the last picture. The strap on it now is something I installed to save the original, but if you wish the original can be installed before shipping. The watch is in excellent condition with no dings or scratches, and at 34 mm it's the perfect size for vintage fans who want a reliable modern watch that isn't the size of a hubcap. Enough chat - on to the pictures:

That was quick :\

It's one of those weeks - you're either quick or you're dead.

Wait, make that watchless. Nobody ever dies over missing out on a watch. It might feel like you're gonna die, but you won't.

All mine 馃榾

And I thank you.

And so will my AD when I show up to make the deposit on my 38.5 mm AT.

Gotta be diligent and check daily - or more often. Besides, you weren't the only one who inquired or even said they'd take it. Justin just pounced first.
