| Post subject: | Bronzo and Karma |
Well, much to the shock of much of you I am sure, I have decided that the Bronzo is not for me. Dont get me wrong, its an amazing watch that I very much apreciated, but it just was not my style and did not work with what I wore, my wife, who has been getting into my watch habit, hated the way it looked on me. I initially decided to just keep it in the box and see how things went down the road, but I received an offer I could not refuse, netting me a profit of 9500 USD. Not a bad deal since I scratched that itch and found out that it is not for me. I pocketed the original payment and immediately blew the profits on a Zenith, an FC, and a down payment on the new Yachtmaster in blue which should be arriving in a month. As an aside, when I calculated my profit on the sale the number struck me, as it was precisely the amount of money that was stolen from me by that Canadian scammer Joe Kam I posted about a while ago. I am a religious person, and I believe there is a balance to things, call it divine intervention, karma, what have you, it is my belief that what goes around comes around. I was pissed at the idea of getting scammed, but knew I would be "reimbursed" eventually, just didn't think it would be in such an obvious way. I say this because I literally put no effort in this transaction, not even finding the buyer, and I am not in this hobby to make money. Thought I would share the happy ending! |

A $9500 profit! I've never heard of such a thing. I knew these Bronzos were in demand, but that's something else. In any case, I'm glad you were able to negate the scam. |

Ahmed, that's great news all round, and so glad that you have now found some pieces that you are more comfortable. Can honestly say that I haven't given te Bronzo a second thought since picking up a Gefica Safari - if you feel the bronze itch again see if you can find one to try on and see how it feels. |

Ahmed, I understand your feelings and sure wish my lead on a Bronzo would have panned out (well except for the "we found one for you for $20,000, lead), because I would have loved to know if it was "for me". |

That's a great story Altair, glad it all worked out in the end. Wowsers on the premium you got from the sale. |

Glad it worked out for you in the end, but I have to ask, how did you get scammed? I'm surprised by the amount of money involved... |
