Oh Someone Tell Me I Haven't Lost My Mind..........
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices.......I just "won" this on the swamp,.....had my eyes on it for about 4 or 5 days now, and every time I looked at it I liked it more .....I think it is gorgeous, and on the far edge of stylish.....no idea when it was made, but, to me this one seems like some of those watches from the 30s that your jaw drops because it looks so modern .........All I know about Universal Geneve is that looking in my watch price books, they seem to make more chronographs than your basic everyday 2 or 3 hands watches .........So have I just thrown a small fortune ( for me anyway) in the soup? or did I score a goodie???.....Oh and tell me quick so that if it is nessessary to slit my wrists, I can get on with it !.....I have NEVER spent this kind of money on a watch .....

1st Incoming AP!!! Introduced to the Collection...

Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Squadra HometimeThe Rever

Patek Nautilus choices - 5726a or 5980?
Currently being offered a great trade in price for a used 5980 blue dial for my 5726. I really like the bracelet on the 5980 but feel that the AC complication is more useful on the 5726. That said, you can't really find 5980s out there anymore so want to throw this up to see what the forum thinks?ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417409267.709259.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1417409303.811754.jpg
