Oh this was classic my wife sells almost any item you can imagine on eBay and Craig’s list. 99% of the time I do all the face to face sales but for my safety I wear the closest thing I have to a Bond thing so if they are thinking of sticking me up they will see the watch And know I posses special skills so they won’t hold me up.

So today it was a ten dollar set of jumper cables. I shit you not the buyer asked if they come from a “smoke free pet free household”. I always try to be nice but that one got me and I said “dude they are in a box in my garage does it really matter.” So he agrees to buy them I go down to meet him he has a dog sitting his car. Now I gotta ponder this interaction all day and give my wife 10 bucks

I sold a portion of my briar pipe collection on eBay and had someone ask me if one of the pipes comes from a smoke free, pet free home…I didn’t answer.

It really is weird sometimes the questions you get. I wanted to ask the guy but when I got to the local gas station he was very friendly and thankful. Although the worst was probably the time she sold a brand new refrigerator and an 80 year old guy shows up to pick it up. Yup he watched me load it on his truck and kept telling me “don’t scratch it” I felt like tipping the thing off his truck onto my driveway and send him on his way.

Finally picked up a real camera after many years of shooting with camera phones. I sold my Canon EOS SLR in 2003. Now I have one again, but digital. Went outside and played with it, and naturally the very first photo I took was of my watch. Took a better one later on, so that's here.

Very interesting not familiar with it I look it up but definitely has the unique factor. It’s getting very difficult to decide on my next watch but my watch budget took a hit with all the home improvements I’m not going to be able to obtain what I was originally shooting for it’s all good though plenty to choose from.
Yes, this one kind of flies under the radar on the Oris lineup...

This is the one that got me hooked on Speedmasters, almost 10 years ago. 🥰

Actually, I bought an Invicta thinking I was buying a "nice" watch. The 75% off retail and the fact it was $59 should have been clues.

Oh I am stupid. Why did I not hook up the sink before I put the tub in. I did the other one yesterday it was a breeze but this may be a Krayon watch 2 months to put together thing. @Duracuir1 was right I should have painted today. I got like an inch and a half to work with I could have had the whole thing open
