. . . then, of course, there's the aft-repeated advice that "you're not buying the watch, you're buying the seller".

In this case, you have bought a beautiful watch from one of the good-guy sellers!!

Enjoy it and we hope that you'll continue to post here!!

: decided to meet Jarl and to pick up the watch in person. So,
: yesterday I took the plane to Oslo and had a long chat about
: watches and other stuff with a very friendly Norwegian guy.
: Thanks to Jarl for the ride, the nice chat and the smooth
: transaction.
: Best regards,
