I dont think the post was about politics, it was about life.

Amazing story abozz. I hope your sub brings you many years of joy.
To all the others, if you take the time to read it you'll see that it only takes a bit of effort. What this guy has gone through to reach his goals is really something.

Great post and welcome to the Forum. Very much from the heart. Your attachment to your fathers watch brand of choice is very touching. And the No Date Sub is an absolute classic. I would never part with mine.

Congrats on a fine watch. I sold my GMT to buy another watch. I have since regretted it. Enjoyed the read even though a bit difficult. Keep posting.

My father taught me if you are going to give yourself away or give something that is always the best, if you do not have money for a gift, buy the best chocolate, which will give the recipient more pleasure than a bad shirt. that's why I bought a Rolex. My father, a doctor, practiced medicine for 40 or more years. always with his DJ, at the end a seadweller. Quote:

You have been reading the forum for 4 years, yet you are asking what would have been a better option than buying a watch from eBay?
Something doesn't make sense here. Anyone reading the forum for 4 years would have seen many warnings against eBay and many, many posts advocating trusted sellers. I'm sure you could have bought from a trusted seller and had the watch sent to your friend in Miami. |

I have no idea what you are saying. I was just trying to offer a little advice that there are other buying options rather than buying off eBay and worrying about it so much like you did. A 4-year reader of the forum knows some of the worry-free options available via this website. In any case, I'm glad you got your watch.
