I recently "won" a NIB Pulsar LCD model 3140 SS from eBay for $80.
Do you think I paid much money for this watch? Is it something without great value? Not collectable? Because I "won" this watch very easy. Only with 2 bids.
Many thanks in advance for your opinions.
Marba - Welcome! I'm thinking it is a pretty decent "catch" at $80 - the box(while not true to the '70s LEDs) makes a nice box for any Pulsar, the mesh band is very nice, and the pictures from the front never do that watch justice, IMO, due to the contour of it, which is not evident from the front. Actually, very hard to capture the essence of it in a picture.
I personally bought two of the stainless and two of the gold ones from Mr. Ratcliff at the higher($100) price....don't know if they will appreciate in value, but I thought they were very nice, and I believe they are the last of the "real" (pre-Seiko) Pulsars. 8)
Senility? This being worn by its designer, who was also the designer of many of the LED Pulsars, just proves that you
