Certainly did. Currently being appraised right now. If its worth what I think it is it might not be the most wearable item so my quest for an everyday submariner to alternate with my 1655 continues

A big congrats to you, from the sound of it, you'll do quite well financially on it.

Wow, wow, wow! Can you share the rest of the story? I feel as if I was watching a movie and missed the most important part. We went from "is this 6536 real?" and "can you get it for a decent price?" to wrist shots! What happened? And how did you authenticate the watch before buying it?

Curious about the negotiating process as well. But it's your call if you want to disclose it. No hard feelings if you don't. Cheers

I'm still upset about losing the one on Ebay. I put in a ridiculous bid already, and I guess someone put in an even more ridiculous bid...
