Sometimes it takes twice to get it right
I’ve wanted a Borel Cocktail watch in my collection for some time. When I came across one online in really good condition, I bought it, even if it wasn’t the exact model I’d set out to purchase.
What I didn’t notice at the time was that it was a women’s version of the watch and although that wouldn’t have bothered me in the least, at 24mm it was too small even on my very thin 6.25” wrist.
So the search continued.
Finally I came across the model I’d been looking for all along, and in excellent condition. I didn’t bother to bid on it and opted to “Buy It Now”.
It arrived today and I couldn’t be happier with it.
It’s in what I could consider 9.5 out of 10 condition with just a few light scratches on the back.
Although the aftermarket band is stiff enough to star in Cialis commercials that’s easily remedied.
I guess it just goes to prove you shouldn’t rush a purchase and to hold out for what you really want if you don’t see it immediately.
If you bought a used wrist watch that only had an hour and minute hand, is it still a secondhand watch? 😜
Ain’t that amazing!! Good you left the small one on the market, I might hunt for it and make it miiiiine!!!! 🤩🤩🤩 😈
She's a beauty! 😍
That is very hypnotic 😳 I would spend an inordinate amount of time staring at that☺️
Beautiful watch! Just like you, I've been eyeing this model for a long time but never found the right one. Congratulations on yours!!! And thanks for the photos and your advice. I'll keep up the search!!! 👍
Congrats! Those are cool
