I was driving to the airport after meeting with a client in Omaha
: yesterday. I had a 13:15 flight and it was 11:20. I saw a little
: coin and gold buying shop which had the word watches on the
: window and thought I would give it a try. When I walked in the
: young gent behind the counter took a look at the 11630 GMT I was
: wearing and said..."we have one of those...but ours is a
: little different." He said, "the pushers and the
: winding thing are all on the same side on ours." I said,
: "well let me see it." He said, "it is at our
: other store which is about 15 minutes West of here."
: Unfortunately the airport was in the other direction. I asked
: him a couple of questions and made a couple of time calculations
: and got back in my rental car to head West. The drive was
: actually 20 minutes...both ways. When I got to the other
: location the watch was way better than he described. I spent 7
: minutes haggling and made a deal. I got to rental car return at
: the airport with 25 minutes to go and was the second to the last
: person to get on the airplane. It probably would have been worth
: it to miss the flight. I have never seen another one of these in
: the wild. The sunburst is almost unblemished and aside from what
: looks like a very light polish the edges are factory sharp.
: Sorry about the lousy iPhone picture. I will put up some better
: pix next time I set up the lights.
