Monaco double-purchase *PIC*

Posted By: Ralf Date: 8/28/03 08:05 GMT

I was looking for a blue white orig. Monaco very intensive the last few month. Than, last week, I suddenly had 2 original watches offered, and I had to make my decision directly. ....and as I had only seen them both on smaller scans in poor solution with poor descriptions of non heuer specialists: I took them both. And what can I say, both watches arrived in perfect orig. shape, better than expected.

As Geddy Lee (of the Rock Band RUSH) would say "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice!" And a great choice you've made!

What is your opinion, shall I post one of the two on Ebay now, or will the early rainy winterseason be better to offer it?

Hard to say... eBay has been in the doldrums the past month and a half, and that 7741 Monaco went for, what was it... $3k or so? Now might not be a bad time, but you could always wait. Hard to say which would be best.

In any instance, congratulations on your double pickup! I love the excitment of occurances like that!
