Hello dear D! Great story and watch to open the thread!!...

you obviously took Kairos by his locks in time!!
Guess Kairos ( or Lady Luck as I like to call it) is near every collector from time to time!
Just we need to recognize him/her and catch their hair in time!
Here two of my encounters with Kairos / Lady Luck:
Some years ago watch dealer friend sent me some bad pictures of a Le Coultre chrono by mail. I said no. Not for me. I thought that dial was just a fantasy redial. Ignorant me!!
A few days later while browsing Internet I come by an article in a now well known watch blog (H ... kee) with lots of pictures and the story of an exact example of the watch offered to me.
I run to the phone and asked my friend if the watch was still available. He said he had it but a couple of his customers were interested in it. I cut the call, took my car and runned to Downtown to visit him and returned home with the Le Coultre on my wrist!
Second story:
I have been hunting for a DSA US for years. Absolutely rare in my hunting grounds I had had no luck finding it.
One morning a good friend and watch lover of mine phones me telling a watch store he frequents has offered him a JLC watch sport model which he didn’t liked and refused, but knowing my interest in diving watches I might like.
He enclosed a picture... of... a TT to DSA NOS with box and papers.
Of course I rushed with my friend to the watch shop at following day and the watch was mine!!
Have a nice week end dear D and all our good friends here !!
