Rockmaster Mike is the MAN!! B-52 Arrived
Rockmaster Mike is the MAN!! B-52 Arrived
First off, Mike is one of those guys that does class act deeds behind the scenes and plays them off as low key. I need to call him out here as he deserves a lot of credit. He listed this for sale, I lusted after it but couldn't make it happen as i had to sell in order to buy....Out of the blue he pings me and says that he's taking it off the market so that I could own it at some point,, I was floored...I told him to sell it as I wouldn't be able to make it happen quickly......he had lots of offers, but wouldn't sell it....
He even reached out to me at one point saying i could pay half now, half later......I was like huh??? Who does shit like this>>> DWC brothers, thats who.....I declined as I would never do that.....Long story short, sold my watch, got the B52.......Mike way undersold the condition of this thing, it looks like it was never worn by anyone......even the strap was brand new, stiff, with blue plastic still on it......It is as BNIB as you could buy.....Best part is that he included a HTFU bracelet, which i have ALWAYS wanted but didn't know where you guys got them.....I will wear it proudly. The watch even has the Call sign of the pilot/original owner of the watch.....WAY COOL.
I can't express enough just how you guys are amazing here, and I'm proud that I've made connections with top flight folks like you all. This shit just doesnt happen in the real world let alone on a f'n website where people talk about watches and shit....Heres quick pics, some fuzz on the crystal and bezel, sorry.

I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Re: Rockmaster Mike is the MAN!! B-52 Arrived
you should have RMM write your feedback of him - your prose, while kind, lacks the flower that this transaction clearly deserves.
(and that watch is kick-ass )

^^^Hahahaha, why don't you just throw some salt in his wounds.
Either way congrats on the pickup and good on RMM on being a great person to deal with.
I have also had the same offers from other members here to pay half now and the other half on Tuesday. Which is super unheard anywhere else and hard to believe it get's offered here as frequently as it does. But it is great the level of trust here to offer it. My wife sometime tells me were are crazy for doing that but she just doesn't understand DWC as a whole and honestly I don't want her to.

Re: Rockmaster Mike is the MAN!! B-52 Arrived
You know you've made it when you get your own acronym "RMM". Never done a deal with Mike, but his reputation is flawless.
Oh and Eric, shit you have a potty mouth for my virgin ears.
Kick ass watch. Looks great. Congrats.

Such a fantastic story with Mike here Eric. Really is so neat to here honestly.
Wow !!! Sounds like the person matched the watch here, and is just so

It's all too good !

Glad it went to a guy who appreciates it as much as I do/did
The HTFU was gifted to me by AC when I bought his IWC, just passing it along
