It's not Singer's $1.2 million, but it will have to suffice

[accountinquestion]

Okay so how about this - one time at a watch shop that sold pre-owned pieces (not a pawn shop, a watch shop), I was looking through all his watches and found one that I recognized, a somewhat rare Swiss piece, and I knew it was solid gold too (marked PG on the back).

It was in a tray with some crappy watches all plated. What had happened obviously was the owner had misread it as 14K PG plated gold, but PG alone means plumb gold which means 14K solid). I asked the owner how much, and he came with some pretty high price for a crappy plated watch, but a ridiculously low price for that particular especially solid 14K watch, and I pretended like I was debating, then just handed him the two bills.

The thing was (is, I still have it), worth three thousand easily.

Yes, it's not a watch I ever got around to wearing, but I might give it to someone someday.

It would be very nice if you gave it to Kewl as a peace offering.

Man that'd be the best Christmas for this forum that I can imagine.
