The following 9035 was bumped by Hodinkee - price seems in line with current market with a little dealer premium. @dougiedude - here's your chance?

I see, I SEE!

The crown is not correct, however... which is a bit unfortunate.

Anyway....Dibs on this one!!

Inquiry/offer made...😗

Crap.

Apparently, it's already sold... I decided to buy it, but someone barely beat me to it... 🙁

You didn't get it?

Other than the crown, what did you think? Looked like the case had been polished a bit, but otherwise...

Did you see my PM from an hour or so ago?

For the price I was put off by the polish. He seller 'fixed' the hands after I talked with him. They were black at the time. Well..Full story is, it was on eBay a while ago. Didn't end well. Black hand,,,etc,,,Seller is mainly all Rolex so I gave him some time. We talked. But he pulled it. Didn't see it until your pm. I think I replied but apologies if I missed one of your pm's

I only just discovered rpm Mostly really expensive Rollies. Never thought to look for Longines there. Matter of fact, I'm looking to add a couple GMTs.

Waiting for my new root beer

Too late! 😗 But I did give him a tip-off as compensation, he should be chiming in with his own duo soon! 😉

Yes, double green with envy, here! I was not as fortunate as Marcus on that one, but...

Hopefully, it will be here from Germany any day now...😒 ... two weeks already 😵‍💫

Yep. So far, so good, although I was surprised to see the PR indicator showing about 39 hours when I opened the box up. Perhaps alot of jostling in the mail-truck? 😉 I'll throw it onto the Timegrapher to see if I can tell if it's truly almost 'fully-wound' or not...🤔.

But I'm very happy with its cosmetic condition 👍...

It now makes a pair:

The cat's not so sure what all the excitement's about...

But I believe I saw what is usually considered the gaze of approval...

Glad that it finally got there! First dibs on both? 😉

Thanks, Marcus, neither one of these ever would have happened without YOU!

Your double-dibs (double-dip?) duly noted...👍👍
