Got chance to buy back a 14060 I used to own.
I originally bought this watch, an a serial number 14060, maybe 12 years ago.The sub was the first prize in an International archery competition. The person who won it only wore it one time, the day he won it. The rest of the time it sat on a shelf with the rest of his trophies. I never wore it and eventually a friend talked me out of it, and immediately regretted it.
Got it back this year. My friend didn't wear it a lot and decided to sell it. While he enjoys watches he was out of touch with current prices. He asked if $1500 was too much. I laughed and told him I couldn't do that, and told him the range they selling in. We agreed on a price and I'm glad to have it back. |

Most would have just smiled and handed over $1500 cash. Good for you.

HARRY THE HAGGLER: Now, look. I want twenty for that.
BRIAN: I-- I just gave you twenty. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Now, are you telling me that's not worth twenty shekels? BRIAN: No. HARRY THE HAGGLER: Look at it. Feel the quality. That's none of your goat. BRIAN: All right. I'll give you nineteen then. HARRY THE HAGGLER: No, no, no. Come on. Do it properly. |

Congrats on getting it back, good gesture not accepting it at a lower price due to your friend's ignorance on current market value!
