    is it wrong to gloat?

    this arrived in the post today.

    Molnija hunter pocket watch with a ww2 commemorative case and an absolutely beautiful face.







    sadly I had to part with a whopping £7.50 (inc post) for it.

    am I a happy bunny?

    I do think so!!

    They are certainly cracking value for money these things!

    Gloat? I would be happy too! That dial is gorgeous!
    I'll make a soldier's decision to fly away. Load my gun, paint my face, call me misery. I can see the sky light up and the ground explode
    Got my sights locked in, I can see you breathe. Then I watched you fall and somebody scream. It's the saddest thing when angels fly away.
    Got a badge for my scars just the other day. Wore it proud for the sake of my sanity. I could see the flames burn bright from the winding road

    We don't consider it gloating, as we are just as happy for you as you are!!

    I was thinking of the immortal words of Socrates, who said "....I drank what?"

    I look inside myself and see my heart is black, I see my red door and it has been painted black. Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts, It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black.

    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

    Close the door, put out the light. You know they won't be home tonight. The snow falls hard and don't you know? The winds of Thor are blowing cold.
    They're wearing steel that's bright and true They carry news that must get through. They choose the path where no-one goes. They hold no quarter.

    Gloating is half the fun of getting an outstandingly good deal (like you did)

    However ...just in case you get too lightheaded here ...whether or not that dial is beautiful, that is very much a matter of taste

    £7.50 is definitely a bargain although I think the dial is a matter of taste . I prefer a much cleaner full white dial. I picked up a vintage USSR Grouse (Sekonda) full hunter for £20 this week, not quite as cheap as yours but it's in immaculate condition and much better than the NOS prices of around £80.

    I managed to outbid the highest bidder by 1p in the very last second (I thought I had just lost out as it was touch and go), now that's what I call perseverance! Apologies if I outbid anyone here.
    Thanks
    Dave
