I few days ago, I pointed out a Skipper offered for sale at $7,350, and another of the same model that had been sold at a local auction house for $3,000 (final price, including buyers premium). HERE is that posting.

Well, can you guess which one I bought? That's right, the $3,000 bargain and it arrived today.

And if I made the right choice in the watches, what about the straps? All three are from James, at db10 -- http://db10straps.tumblr.com/ -- but did I choose the right one?

Wishing everyone a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!!
