No one bid on this watch so I bought it after the auction ended. Will post better pics when it arrives.

Yup, seller has a contract to sell a collectors watches and they have to go through eBay so she had to relist as a buy now so I could purchase. It was available for about a 1/4 sec. LOL.

That is why I bought it!! I am going to video myself slowly peeling it and post it YouTube at $5 a hit. Should easily be able to buy the 10k Navi and have change to spare!! WooHoo!!! :strummin:

congrats, Wayne; very nice piece !

and if Rene calls the price "acceptable" it was probably a decent buy, here is the last NOS 815, sold for 2.5k

Thank you Fred, I was just mystified that no one bid on it so I made my play and it worked out. Looking forward to seeing it in person and posting some clearer images.
