. . . and Then Study Them Again
In Response To: Study the Details... ()

Yes, it is crucial to study the details. And when you are so excited with your new find that you cannot see or think clearly, take a break and then study the details again.

I am amazed at how often the watch looks perfect the first time, and then when the pulse returns to a normal rate, I notice a blatant problem -- wrong pushers, wrong hands, even a missing model name (Carrera, for example). Or I re-read the description and see that the watch is not running.

With the BuyItNow bargain, we sometimes must act fast (or risk losing the watch) . . . consider whether a few more seconds to really look at the watch will be worthwhile.
