New addition to my collection
 
I have been bitten by the watch bug

I have a nice citizen, and two Invicta's

The new addition is my first high end watch that I got for a steal, I bought it knowing that it didn't work so I was hoping that is was just the battery and it was.

I just got home opened her up and ran to the local Kohls store and got new battery, it now works like a champ.

So excited

For those that don't know this is the Porsche Design "edition1" that was not sold to the public.

You could only buy this watch if you bought the "edition1" 2008 porsche cayman S

That's cool. Where did you find it?

Interesting that it's a chronograph, but don't see any chrono buttons adjacent to the crown.

I have been interested in this watch for a long time but every time I see them come up on ebay they go for between 2k-4k

I found this one on ebay no reserve auction from a company called Pawn America, which after I google them I found that they are a pretty large pawn company in MN

They advertised the watch truthfully, it did not work and had minor scratches on the band but the crystal is perfect

watch is made by Eterna

was shocked to win the auction at $265, I guess it was a gamble not knowing if it was just a bad battery

don't really understand why they wouldn't just put a $10 battery in and sell as a working watch

chrono buttons are adjacent to the crown, they are flush with the case

It looks pretty big - what is the case dimension? (nice score!)

plumb4u2 02-11-2013 12:59 PM

44mm

I think the size is perfect, bigger then my Citizen but not as big as my monster Invicta reserve
