Slightly off topic, but pertinent. I was talking to a buddy of mine who is a jeweler, who knows watches but makes most of his money in gems, and he told me that watches may be the last business where the handshake is everything. I immediately thought of my friends here.

No one with a reputation to protect will ever burn anyone, because reputation, and honor, is all. Speaking strictly for myself, there are no regulars here who I would not trust on word alone. It is what they say it is. It is worth what is asked. It will be delivered intact, packed with love. Sure, this is true of Oscar, but it is also true of another two dozen I could mention off the top of my head. It's a testament to this forum...the mods spot weasels early on and keep the APSF (a**holes per square foot) ratio to a minimum. No one will make a living being a crook here, on this forum.

On top of that...low lifes are not interested in Rolex, beyond the bling factor that they could easily get buying a fake. They are interested in money. My experience here is that for the largest part, everyone is far more interested in making a new friend than selling a watch.

Now...cigars AND a Rolex? Listen...if you ever find yourself NOT married.....God forbid, but if...oh, nevermind. My wife lets me buy Rolexes (and Omegas, and Tag Heuers, and oddball old Swiss automatics....). You two live a long and happy life together. May he wake every morning knowing how very fortunate he is.
