Got Lucky and A New Lunch Sack

unixshrk · Post by **unixshrk** » Fri Jun 20, 2014 10:38 am

I had been looking off and on at Doxa Pros and wanted the 600t that Rob had at one of our GTG last fall.
So I find one on the bay that did not have many bids on it, and some less than stellar photos, much like the ones I usually take.
I took a chance, and bid on it, two hours later no one had out bid me and I got it.
I did not hear anything from the guy or get tracking from ebay or anything but I get this funny email.

Chris,

Thank you for your purchase of my Doxa Watch. I was traveling yesterday but received your payment. I was able to package last minute and drop off at UPS for delivery tomorrow. I hope you enjoy the watch. I did ship with a signature request (for my protection and yours) if you choose to leave a note for the UPS guy to leave it, that is your call. As for the packaging, I did this last minute so I used what I had..... So if it looks like I packaged it in a small beer cooler - just let it go!

Thanks,
DoxaSeller

I thought that was funny. But sure as hell he overnighted it to me.

I open the box

Yes sir, a new beer cooler / lunch pack

Dude packed this really nice, I have no idea what the hell he was worried about

And here it is, full kit with warranty card and tool

Gave it a bath, cleaned up really nice

Added two links and presto

It is in really nice shape, better than I expected, and got a new lunch cooler as a bonus.
I left the guy some good feedback, and thanked him for the laugh and the new lunch pack.

Sometimes you get lucky on there.

Sweet!

All purchases should be packed like that

Nice Doxa!

Congrats on your 600. That is head and shoulders above the packaging my 1200 came in direct from Doxa.

I think I got a watch in a shoebox from Wu once.

Great 600 Chris. Nothing wrong with that packaging. Well protected and a good laugh to boot. I'll take a seller like this any day.

Cool watch and cool seller.

cool all around, Chris. Lots of Doxa love here recently. Has me thinking bad thoughts that will surely land me on the porch (we passed the couch punishment long ago).

At least it's summer.

If it is a chronograph the undies get a racing stripe for authenticity.

Great pick up! Just might be the perfect summer watch.
