Found my 1803 on TRF

Many thanks to everyone who posted opinions on my 1803 vs 18238 thread. That really helped me decide on the 1803. Ultimately the pie pan dial trumped the double quickset for me. As I wasn't sure at first, I missed out on the 1803 that was at Bob’s but that led me to one offered up right here on TRF.

JustinK had the perfect watch for me and the transaction was outstanding - thank you sir! The watch is even nicer in person than in the pictures and Justin was a great seller. He really worked with me to get comfortable with the transaction.

And also a thank you to crowncollection for taking time to give me some much needed input. TRF really is a great community!

Fantastic! That's how you buy a watch. Research, learn, hunt, pounce.
