    And it looks like the pushers are readily available so no worries there.

    True, but I recall we have a few members expressing interest in getting into the gold and although not cheap, this one seems to be close to a gold entry level price, IMO. If I were in the hunt I might message seller to see if it could be had at a lower price. Worst scenario is they say no.

    It's not solid gold - the bezel is and the case is gold capped. That'w why Mike said it's not cheap.

    My bad, I actually copied & pasted the wrong link. Here's the link I had intended:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/370679225019?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I agree on the first link...not cheap.

    Just so everyone knows, this seller had offers from other buyers and he played the potential buyers against each other. When I caught on, I told him my final offer was £85 - and he took it to the other buyer so they paid £86.

    When I bought my recent new car I played all the dealers off against each other to get the best price!
    Thought about trying the same with the 50th. Bond Seamaster but soon realised demand is outstripping demand. Guess it's similar with the case.

    That sucks, :mad: at least now you how this seller works deals. It's difficult to know how to play it sometimes. :cautious:

    It doesn't suck, it's just an auction run by a dim seller who evidently hasn't grasped that Ebay, being an auction site, will actually do this for him without pissing people off.::screwloose::

    No, I didn't mean it in the way you thought. I agree with you. ::screwloose:: IMO, it's just an unsettling feeling for a prospective buyer to discover what seller was doing.

    Hey, the case had a reasonable Buy it now price, that is why I said if anyone wants it, buy it ASAP. Anyone who wanted this could have had it . Remember part of the old adage, eBay rewards the decisive.

    Yes, I know - but where's the harm in making an offer when the option is there? Besides, I don't have a 353 sitting around waiting for a case. Good thing anyway - I found a couple more interesting targets including something I need for a watch I already own (thanks Mike & Kyle).
