Inspection: I adhere to the customary three day inspection period. That is, once you receive the watch, you have three days to check it out, try it on, impress your friends, etc. You can contact me at any time in those three days and return it--for any reason--in the same way that it was shipped to you. I'll inspect it on receipt and if everything's the same as when I sent it, you'll get an immediate refund minus any shipping costs and payment fees I incurred. Price: $650 USD shipped, in the US. International orders are welcome, but please be in touch for a shipping quote. Payment via check, wire, courier, homing pigeon, however you're comfortable (references are available). Paypal's fine too, but add 4%, please.
On hold. I will update when the sale is completed. Thanks to the buyer, who is a new OF member. And thanks to the OF for the space!
This watch is now sold. And I'm happy to report that it stayed within the "family", and that the OF has picked up a great new member who now has the pleasure of strapping this watch to his wrist.
