vlydog Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Greetings ladies and gentlemen: I listed this strap earlier today but since then have decided to offer this beauty up for auction and donate the money to my home away from home, RWG. I am grateful to have found this place and have met so many generous people and have made many friends. This is just a small token of my appreciation. The strap will be sold to the highest bidder. The auction will begin the moment this post goes live and will finish precisely at 11:11 PM eastern time US on Sunday November the 11th; (11-11-07). The highest bidder will then transfer the funds, via paypal, to the RWG account. RWG will notify me when the money is received and I will ship out the strap. Up for auction is a custom made HKTan pilot strap in his antique brown buffalo leather. Brand new/never mounted 21mm/18mm 145mm/60mm Matching stitch Brushed ss rivets I know there are many happy 3717 owners who would really enjoy this watch and strap combination and at the same time know the proceeds are helping fund something will all love.

vlydog Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 I would be happy to accept lanikai but, I did set the auction start and end time and I think these should be honored. If one of our Moderators or Admin could come in on this with their OK, than I think we have a deal. A generous offer on your part too and a big thank you once again! vlydog If i can offer to raise the pot... if accepted I will donate the 70 usd to RWG,in exchange I will donate a watch boys gator brown 3717 strap,.. to continue the auction for RWG support 125/85.... brand new never worn.. 109.00 + 10.00 shiping.. 119.00 usd value ... what say you vlydog? edited ..

TwoTone Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 OK.. let Admin make the call, the offer stands.. and you still call the shots and the end time would stand as is.. Lanikai @L It might be easier to start a new auction with your Strap.. Either now in a different Thread or when this one ends... What say you?

vlydog Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Although lanikai's offer of the new strap continuing the auction was generous, and a great idea, I feel the auction should continue as originally planned. The current bid is $70.00 Ok community members, show me your fervor. @L It might be easier to start a new auction with your Strap.. Either now in a different Thread or when this one ends...

The current bid is $70.00 Ok community members, show me your fervor. I was going to bid, but now, given the other thread where I am laying myself down as some kind of sacrificial lamb my motives might be looked on with suspicion. Certainly by some members... But what the hell. I am what I am. USD100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What say you? TT Sorry getting back late.. Flooding on the windward side.. I say .. why not add this strap to the current auction and make it more than one strap that is being auctioned .. and I will add to the gator by adding the Kevlar for IWC 3717- 125/85 brand new never worn... I leave it to Vlydog and Double T ... Vlydogs Show .. I'm just adding to the inventory what say the "House" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlydog Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 @lanikai I think it best to let the auction take its course as is. I agree with TT when he suggested that you start your own auction once mine is finished. I don't mean any disrespect and I applaud you for your generous offer.

vlydog Posted November 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Congratulations to our resident Strap Diva, Victoria. Her bid of 100.00 dollars took the HKTan BP buffalo strap in the auction to benefit RWG. Would a moderator please contact the both of us with instructions on how to proceed? Victoria could you please PM me with your shipping address. Thanks to all who participated in the bidding and a special thank you to Victoria for her generosity.
