I got this beauty about 2 months ago. Originally found it on Ebay, but with lousy pics. The seller was responsive to questions, and had excellent feedback going back several years, but it took her until 2 weeks after the auction ended to post new pics (nobody had bid due to lousy photos). I kept corresponding with her, though, because I looooved this watch and according to the LE/SE thread here, there were only 100 TTs made in black and another 100 TTs in white. After a few more emails, I was able to determine (as I had suspected) that she was selling the watch for somebody else who was not tech-saavy. She had asked the owner to take more pictures, but it took the poor guy 3 weeks to figure out how to get the photos off of his digital camera and send them to her.
I ended up talking with the owner on the phone, and determined that he seemed like a straightforward and honest guy. We worked out a deal where we used an online escrow service, and pretty soon I had a great watch at a great price.
So what started out as a suspicious auction turned out to be a flawless transaction between two honest parties. It pays to be polite and persistent.
I have been dying to take pictures, but between me being insanely busy before 6 straight weeks of travel and the Seattle weather kicking in, it's been tough. So when we had some sun today, I ran out and took pictures of all of our watches. (I should have taken a little more time to wipe this one clean a little, though).

, and she really likes red dials. But it's already sold, and it doesn't have papers. The other thing I notice is that it is missing a link in the picture, but the listing doesn't say if it's included. My guess is no. So I would need to get an extra link for that, which I could be rather expensive.
