no, this isn't another pugwash-klink thread.
Just wanted to share a funny story, if some of you remember a few weeks back, Bill posted a challenge for someone to step up and pay the 200 bucks Necessary to get the ram update for the board. He posted a that he would give a mystery watch - could be a broken POS or could be a Gen.
Well, as many of you know, it was a gen Zeno with an ETA 7750 in it. Very nice watch, but not my style. So i put it up on the bay and It sold for 370$. There was a guy who kept asking me if it was a fake - and i was pretty sure they aren't making fake zenos
anyway so the guy's wife is in south florida and he wanted her to come pick it up. - so we started talking and he said just wanted to make sure it was gen cause he collects alot of fakes - i said - Oh, well, - Jetmid-says-what? - no, kidding - i didn't say that, i asked him if he is involved in the online community, no, he said that he has a dealer in Germany and 1 in the UK that send him catalogs (paper) i was asking him about prices and they seemed to be reasonable. I sent him a few of the dealers sites and directed him to RWG. He said he would check it out. Apparently he has over 200 watches in his collection - had some nice gens mil miglia, and a few others, but he wears mostly his reps.
Seemed like a really nice guy - hopefully he joins the party
and we all lived happily ever after. -
now my radical - oh well not so radical, but dramatic change in my collection will be revealed soon - i keep moving through different watches that i think i'll keep
