Service Time

Last week I was at my local AD's and looking over his substantial assortment in the case and the owner looked at me and asked if I was ready to spring for one? He took out of the safe a 5980/1a-001 that was unworn. One of his regular watch fanatics had bought it a year ago and never worn it but decided he was interetsed in something less casual. I stood at the counter and held it, looked at it and said how much? He gave me a price I could not refuse so I wrote the check and walked out with it in the box safe and sound. The next hurdle was getting it into the house without seeing Mt. Vesuvious erupt! I kept it in the office safe over the weekend. On Sunday I packed up about 20 watches to post for sale and h
