I headed out to the flea market today, and came across a vendor with a mountain of old straps, bracelets, etc. piled on a table.

I dug through the bracelet box which was full of old Seiko bracelets...none for Pogues...

Went through the straps...all crap.

Saw a bag full of bracelets...and pulled this gem out... Best part, I picked up a nice 18 and 19mm JB Champion shark mesh too.

Bad news is that is it missing the keeper, but hopefully I can source that from a parts bracelet on ebay.

I had to bite my tongue when the seller told me, "I know a lot about watches, and I doubt you want to pay what I am asking..."

I said, "try me..."

He responded, "$20."

Done.

I then put it up to my Speedy, and the guy, said, "oh, do your collect?"

My response, "a little..."

Fun Saturday

Special thanks to @TLIGuy who sent me an ebay auction where the seller had a mess of broken JB Champion bracelets.

I messaged the seller, and he sold me a stainless keeper for...$1...$1.89 shipped!

The power of this forum never ceases to amaze me...people helping people. It is so cool. Just had to share.

This guy would have made the seller pay him for taking the bracelet but 20$ is ok I guess... 😗
