Looks attractive but seems to have been FS for 5 months now...
Not really offended by the price but please if you are asking this much please keep your fingerprints off the dial.

what fingerprints?
I have been occasionally tempted to post items from our own sales corner on here as there are routinely 4 or 5 on every page which fit the bill but realise that a spell on the naughty step may follow if I did so!
This is a real shame.
As a naive watch buyer, I’ve been told many times to buy with confidence on OF. Ive seen countless new members reminded that peddling their wares wasn’t allowed until they had 200 posts and could be trusted. I’ve seen many ‘should I buy this...’ questions with a response of ‘better buy from OF’.
Recently many red flags are popping up from trusted and knowledgeable OF members questioning high prices here. True dilemma as suddenly the source for normal ‘is this watch worth it at ‘x’’ cannot be asked here when it’s posted here... so we cannot trust the quality and authenticity of watches on eBay, and we cannot trust that prices are realistic on OF...
However, I mean, the buyer has to have some level of responsibility to research what they are buying. I don't think anyone on OF would say to just blindly go the the sales forum and pay the first asking price on any random watch and assume it's a great deal.
You have to educate yourself and know what you are buying on ANY forum.
Before anyone mentions that questions can be asked via PM, that can also be challenging on OF as many sellers are friends with other members here, so this can be tricky to navigate. (I realize it's all part and parcel of a small somewhat 'tight-knit' community, and the benefits FAR outweigh any negatives).
