    Kind of interesting title to this thread.
    I certainly don't feel sorry for the guy. His wife loved him enough that she knows exactly what the watches are. Note how precisely she identified the one on auction?

    I know nothing about this watch but Isnt it a bit suspicious that this EB watch has been bid well in excess of every other like Heuer Calculator on eBay and Chrono24?

    Maybe people like the story. In the end people always like a good story.

    Actually I'm starting to wonder whether her girlfriends aren't helping out.... some of the bidders have very low numbers.
    I might drop her a line to fill her in on a rule or two...

    Looking at their bid history I think you may be right.

    If she is playing games with the bidding I hope she gets burned. Besides, I usually question these stories anyway. There is always more to them, or worse they are faked.

    I don't know anything about huers.

    I did message her to see if he had any Omega watches.

    I'm really thinking this is a joke post or a scam.

    Easier to write that story than to describe the watch, especially if there's something wrong with it...

    Great listing though!

    Nothing funny in this. Very vindictive... Takes two to destroy a marriage. Wonder how she'd be feeling if he was selling her prized possessions. Hope the judge takes this into account when working out her settlement...

    Zero feedback seller with over 40 bids and price is double market with a week left to go...:rolleyes:

    If you believe this story, I have some land in the Everglades to sell you. Whole thing seems fishy to me.

    I think it went up that high because of the Hodinkee post.
