It was almost five years ago that @MSNWatch created this thread and as of this writing, there are 3,660 posts and over 371K views. Now, the question on the title here is.. did you pursue any of these? were you able to snatch any? and if you did, how many remain in your collection?

I did go after several of them but only managed to get these three which I still have in my watch box.

what about any of you??

 

I bought one or two from that thread... One of them was even my own suggestion!



(now sold)





Possibly the single biggest non-buy regret I have to date is not paying the BIN on a MSNWatch-endorsed Seamaster Chronometre from that thread, but trying to strike a better deal with the seller. Makes me feel bad just thinking about it!

 

Those notorious enablers @Peemacgee and @ConElPueblo worked me into this one:


The extra with this purchase was the original strap that came with it - a nice Omega branded brown leather with a gold colored buckle that works great on another Constellation.

I also bought at least one more, a Seamaster 147.01 that's been in the hands of a purported watchmaker for 8 months now.

Sorry but no pictures of that one. If I ever get it back maybe I can show it here...

 

I bought a few but can't remember which ones because they are all gone.

 

what? no pictures? it never happened!

 

Ive bought a few. Only 1 remains - and not for long.

 

That's an unbelievable watch!
It seems there are a lot of members turning over watches quickly.

 

^^^ that's a nice one^^^!

 

None of mine would ever have made it to that thread

 

Here's one

 

Forgot about these two.

 

I think this is the last one.
