Re: 1954 Mint Connie bumper! EXCITED for sure!

: Well....i just pulled the trigger on what has
: been one of my longest searches! To find the
: dial i've always loved with the arrowhead
: markers, dauphine hands, and condition to
: die for. Put it in an 18K prestine case with
: beautiful lugs and it's put a grin on my
: face not soon to disappear!

: Did i pay too much........don't know and who
: cares? I certainly don't as i might have had
: to wait another 20 years to find another in
: similiar condition......and what would it
: run then anyway?

: Fact is i sometimes lose more than this at the
: Casino, though i'm pretty steady in eaking
: out a living playing professional blackjack.

: In any case....the watch was only on ebay about
: a day, and i had placed an earlier bid in
: order to watch it. But i felt that it
: wouldn't be available in another day or so,
: once the Omega "vultures" got a
: wiff of it! (so i am one too, hehe).

: So the "Buy-it-Now" was
: stareing......no.....CALLING to me and i
: hesitated no longer! On another occasion for
: another watch i hesitated about 15 seconds
: TOO long and someone else beat me too it!
: Wasn't going to happen THIS time.

: Anyway, i hope i'm not breaking any rules by
: posting this with the ended ebay auction,
: but i wanted to share the great photos with
: everyone and i don't have a way to change
: some of the photos from an "art"
: file to a "jpeg", and the listing
: used both types. As i don't have a picture
: hosting service set up yet......hope this
: will do.

: ......can't wait to get her on my wrist, though
: i fear i may relegate her to only special
: occasion wear to preserve her.

Great looking watch...
but the seller is in Turkey, I'm wary about any sellers outside the US for that amount of $$$$.$$
Good Luck.
