    So, this arrived back from STS last Wednesday. It's a belter, trying to work whether to sell but what do you think?

    First time worn for 25 years!

    One of my most wanted. I bid for one on eBay the other day with blurry pictures. It was sitting at a low price up until 2 hours before. I set my snipe up but woke up to find I was beaten :(

    No sympathy for you! <in Soup Nazi voice>

    If it really calls out to you and you really want it you have to go "Full Ashley" on that mofo.

    Fair call. I bid a thousand bills and figured nobody would be ballsy enough to go all out for something with photos of this quality:

    I was wrong.

    I never bid even amounts, if I'm going to outlay say $600 as my limit, I always set my snipe up for $617.80 or something, that way if there are other bidders just hedging with a five or ten dollar float over the even 600, I'll win.

    Unless the other party does an Ashley and bids $620 :mad:

    That's pretty much what happened. I bid $1,002.73 but someone bid $1,045 before the end so my snipe max was too low and esnipe just deleted it. If I'd stayed awake I'd probably have pushed it up but ce la vie.

    Anyway, thread hijack. OP, your watch is awesome :)

    This one has just been to STS so has a 2 year omega warranty. I have the brand new mesh bracelet to go with it. Looks great on the nato though don't you think?

    Is it an earlier model than the baby Plo?

    It glows like a Christmas tree at night too. The bezel is still bright too! (Once your eyes get used to the dark).

    Well, I just got done too so don't feel bad.

    http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-...aZKwO8hnWr863boQjvKk8%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=ncPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    That's why it's good to set a limit I 'spose, coz if TWO bidders decide to "Go Ashley" it's like Gunfight At OK Corral.

    Only one man walks away.

    And to the OP.

    Back on track..............Lurverly 120 ::love::
