Everyone that has chimed in helps me to keep to my check list.
I put a call into Gai. He's a big help. This is the first one he's found for me to look at. It took him only a couple of days to find it. If this one doesn't work out, I'm thinking he'll be able to find me something a bit better in the near future.
I'm taking my time on this purchase. No rush or hurry at all. I will know it when I find the right watch for sure.

In a dry market with as you put it, "slim pickings" I know this can be hard.
Something comes to you and its hard not to pull the trigger out of excitement.
It's good that you are not in a hurry. the fact he found it for you in a couple days is very fast. For me personally, there is just too much wrong with this piece to pay 40k. The chipped dial and the hands.
I know for me to find certain pieces in my collection, it was almost a decade until I found the "right one"..
So even if it takes 6 months to a year or more, wait it out until you find one that sits just right with you, otherwise you will end up settling and ultimately end of flipping at a loss.
think of it as ordering a Ferrari. It's going to be awhile, but when it finally comes in, it will be just as you wanted it!
