If you think you have it bad buying in Candadian dollars, try being in £. It hasn't been a pretty ride 😲
FWIW you're actually getting more GBP for your CDN right now since any time from late 2013 onwards.
Just received another update, Seller cancelled the winning bid and watch is available if I want it. He said there were way too many red flags for him and didnt feel comfortable continuing on.
I've been traveling so I just noticed this thread. FYI, the terrible, red flag waving buyer who paid for this watch within minutes and wanted the watch sent to his personal PO Box (like dozens of other watch purchases) was...........ME.
This seller agreed to a price, was paid immediately and promised to ship today. Fast forward, never contacts me that he has any issues, and cancels the sale and says the watch is no longer available. Quite an asshole, IMHO.

Anyway, watch wasn't THAT wonderful to begin with. Would have been nicer if it was steel and not gold plated. Nor was the price.
His final comment that shipments to po boxes are not allowed by paypal is pure BS.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience but if I sold a watch I would react the same way as that seller if asked to ship to a PO Box.
Paypal protections only apply for the seller if the product is shipped to the same address as the Paypal registered address. Is your registered Paypal address at your PO box? (I didn't think you could register a Paypal account to a PO box?).
Another Ranchero popped up. Want to see if I am right in my assumptions, and see just how off I actually am. Not interested in the watch, but want to see if this whole learning thing is going well.
Case looks really polished. Lugs look almost like cylinders now.
Hands have been replaced with non ranchero ones, from newer model watch (no idea which one)
Dial looks to be original, but it is missing T markers, so I am confused about that.
I am never sure about lume like this. I want to say original, but no idea why it looks all fuzzy and stuff. I only see this on Ranchero's
Cal 267 belongs to 2990-1, so that looks fine
Caseback has 2990-1 so thats fine. Doesnt look like replacement
15M serial number is in range of Cal 267 movement.

Any feedback on asumptions is much appreciated. Thanks.
