Well, you can expect it (the Seiko) to be reposted. I was the winning bidder and although the seller published a sensible list of countries he wouldn’t post to Australia wasn’t on the list. He cancelled the sale without discussion and then sent a message saying he “cannot post to Australia “. Must be a problem with the Royal Mail
Bidders beware, if you don’t live in the UK..
Hey @Pianotuna I reached out to the seller and arranged to buy it for the final auction price...
If you still want it and you’re happy to cover shipping to Oz, it’s all yours. Ping me a message.
should be arriving with me later this week.

@simomega that’s a very generous and thoughtful offer. You are most kind but I think you deserve both the plaudits from our fellow contributors here and the watch itself. I didn’t expect my bid to be a winner to be frank and I’m pleased that the seller was of ethical disposition and agreed to the sale though he must have been disappointed with the result. Wear it in good faith and I hope it is as good as it appeared to be. A photograph of said item upon arrival would seem obligatory if posters don’t object.
Thank you very much and for reaffirming my faith in my fellow man.

That’s actually a really pretty watch, and it hasn’t been polished up. Smallish at 32 but if you have small wrists- bully for you.
Not only did I give this post a "like", I would also like to nominate it as the best written post of 2021 to date
Here's one I didn't post here and decided to grab before anyone else did. I believe posting a pic for posterity is order as it did qualify for the good value thread ($155 offer accepted minutes after it was listed for $200).
Gold plated square Longines with a nice little 23z movement on a lovely vintage lizard strap. Sized very nicely at 26.5mm. I've had a lot of pleasure wearing it since it arrived last week!
Highly recommend this seller for the great items he has listed and the ease of dealing with him. No affiliation of course aside from being a satisfied customer.

Now that is an excellent bargain!
