Hey Guys,

I have a box and papers for a Kermit sold in 2003. I would rather reunite this with the original owner than try and sell it for a few bucks. I attached some photos including the serial. Please contact me if this is yours.

Shaun

for a very kind and generous offer, don't see this every day

tie219 · 2 April 2019, 02:36 AM

Nice gesture, hope the original owners finds this

coralfarmer84 · 2 April 2019, 02:37 AM

Nice Gesture. Needle in a haystack I'm sure but this would be the place if someones going to find it. If you care I'd go darker on covering up your personal info, I can pretty much see it all

I would absolutely love it if the owner finds this post. I have owned many watches I dreamed about finding the box and papers for.

Grnvette65 · 2 April 2019, 04:15 AM

Very nice of you. How amazing would it be if you were successful.

FTX I · 2 April 2019, 04:30 AM

Nice gesture. Congrats.

function12 · 2 April 2019, 04:51 AM

That's awesome. I hope the new owner finds these. You might put the serial number in the body of your post. This way it will show up in a search.

Thats brilliant, hope the owner sees this, to make his set. Hats off to you.

RW16610 · 2 April 2019, 06:15 AM

Wow, I really hope the correct owner turns up and gets those. That would add so much the the story of the watch! Good on you

Thanks brother. I just thought if someone was lucky enough to have an 03 with a flat 4 that was purchased without box and papers, and I have them. Whew, that owner may feel like they just hit the lottery.

TheVTCGuy · 2 April 2019, 06:52 AM

It’s mine!

Ok, so I’m a liar.... Good on you OP and I hope the Original Owner comes forward

Chloe&Harley · 2 April 2019, 08:52 AM

Hope you have some success

GB-man · 2 April 2019, 12:05 PM

So how long you been checking flat 4 listings hoping to see that serial number

Lol I’ve spent zero time on it. Needle in a haystack for sure. I’m hopeful whoever owns it is a collector or something. It would suck to mail it to someone so they can make an extra $1,000 or whatever a set would bring that watch.

WOW! Such a great gesture. How awesome it would be if you had that watch and found this.

Good on you Shaun.

Tony64 · 3 April 2019, 03:14 AM

Just curious, but how is it that you have the box and papers but no watch?

It would bring much more than an extra grand probably in the neighborhood of 5k more depending on condition of the watch. Still mighty fine gesture sir

A buddy of mine got rid of the watch years ago when he was playing poker professionally. Lost his bankroll and had to start selling watches

So, he handed the box to me and said he didn't have a use for it anymore. Then i broke the bad news of how much that watch is currently worth. He did not find that to be enjoyable.
