I asked for a few more photos and could tell that the case looked unpolished... I quickly made him an offer and the deal went through. Very happy with the outcome!

I believe I may have been negotiating the same watch!!! He removed the listing and I sent him a private message, got his number then called the antique shop guy, if its the same watch it has a small nick on one side on the bottom. He has an antique shop in South Carolina but he was up North (Maine I believe), he did tell me he was negotiating with someone else!! I made him an offer but maybe I chickened out!!!!!!
Congratulations
Next time I will move quicker! Good for you!!!
Here is my last text (for privacy reasons I have cut off his number)....If it was not the same...maybe I should be calling him now!
