An acquaintance and serial flipper stoped by today

So a buddy of mine drops by the shop today to show me a watch in his collection that I haven't yet seen in person. Even worse has me try it on and after offers to trade it to me saying he'll be back in a dew weeks to see what I have to trade.

I just don't have the budget he has for nice things as I an in my twenties and poor lol. Maybe I can entice him with something when he returns. It is a very nice watch as is yours sir

Looks ok, just make sure the bezel doesn't overlap the case edges at the 6 and 12 sides (overpolishing of the case) and check for loose push-pins in the bracelet. One of mine almost fell out recently, and the whole thing is now with Michael Young. Yours is newer than mine though. Also make sure it has the open 6 and 9 date wheel still there if older than about 1990. A service record is also very desirable on an OQ, as some movement parts can be expensive to replace.
