Found at Garage Sale today - like the look

Fun day. Heading out this morning I saw that my neighbor was setting up for a garage sale. Sad actually, she and her husband are separating (he ran off with the other women) and she was selling a bunch of his things in order to "wind down their life" as she says. For some reason he left a box of watches at the house when he moved out.

In the box was a seiko discus, couple swatches, his fathers rolex (she was asking about $5,000 for that!) and this one.

It jumped at me with it's clean look and modern styling. It is hard to see in the picture, but the only brand markings are a small "MIH" at the 9 o'clock position. I had never heard of them before, but she said it stands for "Made In Heaven". She said her husband told her he bought it during a business trip from a chain of watch stores in Asia that is like Swatch - stylist watches very cheap - and paid $500. She was asking $150. Seemed a bit high so I told her I would talk to her when I got home.

Anyway, got home a couple hours ago and it was still here so I pressed her fro a better price. She lowered the asking price to $125 and we settled at $115.00.

I have been trying to find "Made In Heaven" on the internet, but only find clothes, a movie, a Song by Queen, and a few marriage consulting sites. Does anyone know anything about "Made In Heaven" or MIH? I hope I didn't just pay $115 for a $65 watch!

Have a great weekend!
