Thanks for the encouragment. I'm looking for a daily wearer watch so a few marks and such don't bother me. I just wanted to make sure that all the people who didn't bid on this watch didn't see a big problem that I missed.
I got the impression from e-bay completed sales that a Speedy under $1k was pretty rare. I think this one slipped through because of a reasonably high initial bid, no pic on the search page, and the fact that it closed very late on Easter Sunday (and Sopranos) Sunday.
There's a pretty similar watch (see link below) that's over $900 with 8 hours left and over 10 bidders already watching it.
It's about $400 less than the cheapest Speedys I've seen lately, so there's some wiggle room for getting it cleaned and getting a new crystal or whatever. It's nice to have the bracelet, but I think I'll probably end up wearing it on a band--probably a Hirsch Professional.
No Easter Bunny Bargains in the guitar world--a 1939 martin 00-18 that we all expected *might* go for $6000, went for $11,300, demolishing the old record for a 30s 00.
Thanks again.
