wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 03:07 PM

Just bought it on impulse
talked to him on the phone and is a great guy.
Has all the service records and even the original reciept

Tools · 18 March 2010, 03:09 PM

3500 is a good price...

That watch will cost 4000 if you bought it from a Dealer............

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 03:11 PM

Really?
Was kinda of worried cause I moved so fast on it.
I don't see many with the jubliee

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 03:17 PM

You don't say how old it is.......... they used to be fairly common as it was an option, along with the 93150 Sub style bracelet..

They were available all the way up until discontinued but the last few years were mostly seen on the Oyster Bracelet..........

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 03:38 PM

It was purchased New in 1997

mask1196 · 18 March 2010, 04:10 PM

the guy doesnt have paper for the watch though, does he?

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 09:05 PM

Yes he has all the papers

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 09:44 PM

Were these all 40mm

TimeToGo · 18 March 2010, 10:01 PM

This watch is not from 1997 - Maybe 1990ish.

Look at the tag, I believe the serial begins with an E.

Also this is an older box, appropriate for a late 80's / early 90's.

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 10:33 PM

Yep, it's a e serial number

is that possible that he purchased it new in 1997?
He's a straight up guy so I see no reason why he would make that up.
All the paperwork is in his name purchased from AD

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 10:35 PM

I should have it in a few days. I post some pictures when I get it

Excellent!~!

TimeToGo · 18 March 2010, 10:36 PM

Anything is possible. If he has the original receipt, that will verify it.

I probably misread your initial post, thinking it was a 1997 model. Also there is no mention of papers included w/the watch, only the receipt.

Sorry about that.

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 10:39 PM

The purchase date was aug. 1997 he's sending me a picture of the certificate

mattdrye · 18 March 2010, 10:50 PM

Geez it scares me that all these people keep making these impulse buys on ebay. I guess people will have to learn the hard way before they will buy only from our dealers on TRF. I have bought every watch I have ever owned from Alex Maniscalco (Alex Collector). Our forum sellers are tested and prove reliable time after time. I just don't see why anyone would buy anywhere else.

TimeToGo · 18 March 2010, 11:06 PM

There are legitimate sellers on Ebay. Just have to do your homework.

....and from the sounds, Luigi found a good one!

imono · 19 March 2010, 07:06 AM

The ebay description also says "worn only on special occasions" so the band should be a good tight fit and not drooping. And the watch should also look like new too. For $3500 you get all that - it's a good buy.
One of the nice ebay successful stories now and then.

wegeman76 · 18 March 2010, 11:13 PM

There are lots of good sellers on eBay. I only like to buy from the original owners.
That way they can tell me everything they did or didn't do. This seller is sending me all the reciepts from when the watch was purchased and serviced.

Just got serviced from AD 3 weeks ago

Excellent! Can't get any better than that!

wegeman76 · 19 March 2010, 12:18 AM

In 1990 did they use tritium?
I wonder if the lume still works, that would be neat if it does

wegeman76 · 19 March 2010, 01:00 AM

even comes with price guide for that year

Dan Pierce · 19 March 2010, 01:05 AM

That's a great GMT combo.

MikeyTX · 19 March 2010, 01:28 AM

You did good so don't let any of the boo birds tell you otherwise. You got the watch you wanted at a price you are happy with. Kudos !

slcbbrown · 19 March 2010, 01:31 AM
