Yes. Just picked it up from Orange county, made my two friends drive me all the way to this awful Mall, and the seller was this great Armenian jeweler who owned a store that sold such cheap jewellery that there were no walls. He had a little bench in the back, quite out of keeping with the rest of the mall, and indeed the store. He told me he had bought the watch from a customer and then "Serviced it down to the plates, every last screw". It was an amazing brown.
The ebay auction was for the watch head. I won it for $3700. Which was more than double what a 69 was selling for at the time. Here is the kicker. He handed me the watch, on a leather band. Loveley I said.
"Oh, by the way, do you want the bracelet too?" it was a 1039. Er yes. He threw it in. No charge.
Oh, By the way, Do you want th guarantee too? Its expired"
Er yes please.
He was a great guy. Then he told me he had four offers over $4000 after the sale but a deal is a deal so here you are.
I always wish I had not let him fit the bracelet......I might still have it....
