...And you'll never guess how much I paid for it
My grandparents are antique collectors and asked me to join them this morning at an estate sale to pick up a piece of furniture. Reluctantly, I agreed and at 5 am this morning we set out. At the sale, I saw a drawer of junky looking watches (mostly Beringer steel, Dakota, broken Timex) and then something caught my eye...the green and red of a Tag! I immediately made a bee line to the watches and started rummaging. I was very lucky to find an F1 Chrono staring back at me! It had a few scratches on the face and it's missing the luminous point in the bezel but otherwise it is in great shape. I asked how much and the owner of the estate told me...oh what about 5 dollars!!!! I'm a happy camper
