Rebuilding my collection

Post by flyskate » Wed May 04, 2011 4:42 pm

As I've mentioned, my divorce had led to the loss of most of my collection. I'd like to share the first purchase in re building my collection, a piece I had, and one that while understated, is a great value and elegant in it's simple design.... The new addition is the Accutron VX-200 3 hand.

Absolutely love the bracelet!

Cool. Always had a softspot for Accutrons. I've always been curious about that particular bracelet as well and came close to buying the chrono version a few times.

Good start. I've always liked those Accutron VX-200s, a really nice, clean look. After my first divorce, every thing I owned fit in my car with room left for me. It was a Fiat X1/9.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

I would argue that's one of the best divers you can get for the money.

Those are nice.
Some "deal of the day" type site was selling them for like loose change a few years back and I bought one.
I bought it just to flip on ebay and made a bit of money.
Congrats!
