I tried to resist!>>

buying a Submariner, but I could not handle the pressure. I bought a 16613, M-series. Have been looking for one about two months after the "perfect" one. Has been close to going to Athens to get one there, but due to poor flight times, etc. so it went away. The seller was also willing to go to Stockholm to deliver it here, but it also fell on bad flight times. I found one in Holland and it looked good but it turned out it was a “bad man” who sold the watch several times. Than I found one in Germany and I prepared to buy it but they were unable to send by insured freight. Found since this, in the neighboring municipality!

Longer than that, I did not go to buy the perfect watch
