In order to easily support a charity with an ebay auction, I had to join Missionfish. Charities that we previously discussed were not included in their list.

The buyer is not making a donation, the manufacturers are, and the charity I chose is in the category that was originally discussed with them.

Good luck, and please spread the word.

Thanks for starting the auction with two quick bids from WUS members!

Excellent choice for the charity BTW.

Great start on the auction.

 

[MitchSF]

I expected it to sell for $600 or so. This is really great.

Hey Mitch -

Quick question - the LM-1's have the ETA 2824 movement, right?

The auction states that the PVD one has a Selita SW200 - are you using a different movement in it, or is it a misprint? I may have missed it if you said something before.

I'm winning right now :-!

[MitchSF]

No mistake. Production LM-1s all use ETA 2824-2 movements. The auction watch does have a Sellita SW 200.

Thanks for bidding it up so high!

Well done Mitch, congratulations on the auction that is a fine price that won.
I wish I could have gotten in on that one. 1 in the world what a collectors piece.

Hi Robert, congratulate the buyer, not me! I hope he will post some pictures when he receives his watch.

I'd like to do this with each new model release.

Wow! If I hadn't still been hung over from New Year's I would have woken up to see the end of the auction, but since I didn't get my ass outta bed until about twenty minutes ago....Oh Well!

Congrats to Nalu...that's some safe queen ya got there and all for a very good cause as well!

Hi Mitch,
Is there a chance for a 1 of 1, PVD'd LM-2? :think:

Congratulations Nalu! Nice pickup. I hope you share some pictures of it once you receive it. |>

 

[MitchSF]

Hi Cannon. The LM-2 is made by a different manufacturer. I did ask them if they can pvd coat one case.

Thanks gents, looking forward to this one! I actually haven't even got my LM-1 yet since I've been on holiday for a couple of weeks, so I've really got something to look forward to my first week back to work (besides pain :-d ).

I will of course post photos of this LE, alone and with it's brother.

Well done on choice of charities by Mitch! I would have gone higher. My father and I were just discussing donations 3 days ago. I gave to Wounded Warriors last month, along with the Red Cross and Spec Ops Warrior Foundation, so this new charity arose at a perfect time (though I could have used the write-off in '06 - '07 and '08 are already taken care of).

Congrats Colin... great pickup, and great cause too. Look forward to those pics...:-!
