A New Record for Me. :-)

I did not own the YM for exactly zero seconds. I recieved the watch that I was gonna trade today for it and it was not as advertised.

The deal was with a person that I know, so I am just shipping his watch back to him tomorrow and that is that. I never shipped mine, as per the deal, if the watch was as advertised, I would have shipped mine today and he would have wired the cash difference to me.

Andie told me this is a sign that I should hang on to the YM, she is probably right as usual. So I think I will.

Just thought I'd share the story. So Dennis, I do still own the watch with a face that I love.

It makes her get a big head, so I try not to. It is for her own good.

It was more used than he described. No big deal, he was a friend of mine and we scrapped the deal. For the amount of cash he was adding, the watch needed to better, that's all.

I have made a ton of deals on preowned watches, but only after references all check out, or the person is willing to make sacrifices to make sure I can inspect the watch. I had dealt with this gentelman before, so I knew no matter what there would be no issue.
