Today has been my perfect day. Why? I hear you cry! My IWC Pilot Chrono arrived. I know people go on about about Evilbay but this time its come good. I had my sights on this watch all week and then got out bid on it. The following day I rang the guy who was selling it and he told me the buyer had pulled out after winning. So we reached an accommodation and its now mine! Its 2 years old and looks 2 weeks, Box,Papers. I asked why he was selling it and he says he bought it on holiday in Barbados. Got it back to his hotel and decided it wasn't for him and that he prefered his Rolex "Seadweller" His loss my gain. Anyway, I have been dying to tell someone and now I have. (I had to sell 2 of my Japanese swords to buy it) Have a great weekend all.

Really great outcome. The seller had a fleeting moment of good taste - Barbados can bring out good sense - and his later regret was your gain. Congrats.
