Ultra Rare Temption Cherubin-R Watch Available On eBay: Humorous Typo Included, Or Clever Auction Angle?
It is with great delight that I see beloved Temption watches available on eBay from time to time. The small yet inspiring German watch maker produces around 700 watches a year only. So you can imagine how few of those end up on the eBay America. Watch Expo is one of the few US dealers of Temption watches and has a two available on eBay now. The far rarer of the two is a Temption Cherubin-R White Watch with beautiful blue hands and accents. A watch that retails new for over $6,000. It is available on eBay new for almost half of that.The Temption Cherubin-R is a gorgeous watch. Plump hands on a well designed face make for remarkable legibility and function.

He improved it by about a minute, but after three return visits, I gave up and decided to send it to the watchmaker who services my vintage Subs.He found all manner of horrors, and ended up replacing the crown/stem, various movement parts and using some tiny weighted washers to compensate for a less than perfect balance (very difficult to find a replacement apparently, and quite expensive too). End result was within 25 secs / day, and winding as smooth as you lik

Why all the new Sub rumors this year?
I recall during the run up to Basel last year we had zero rumors about a new Sub. In fact, I specifically remember people saying we were probably at least 5 years or so away from a new Sub (based on some anniversary year). But this year, there quite a few new SUb rumors. i.e. new movement, slimmer lugs etc.I wonder why?

It��s great to have a choice to make!
I’ve been wearing the LV all day but am going out for a cold one. Giving the LV a much needed break. Haven’t decided which of these two to wear. I’ll let you know shortly. My dog could care less. She just wants to go already.
