I understand what you're saying Oscar. And yes I felt my feelings were hurt a bit, snif ! :D And also being new at collecting watches, you have to understand that three years ago, when I saw that watch for the first time, I had so many other watches I wanted :D That's why I find it interesting to buy used watches that were own by collectors. It was the same when I bought the Barracuda... I personally don't care about asking price when I see a used watch in a used watch forum, I know what I'm ready to pay and I make offers, if it works, fine. If not, well, I pass to the next watch or next opportunity... I'm sure I'm not the only one like that and like I pointed out in my Title, "Blue and Green Monstrum", I personally don't care about the other colors and these are the two that have the biggest value IMO.
I can say that the advertising done by the seller is very bad and like you said, everybody has to do his research. If someone is ready to pay $300 for the orange dial...well too bad for him... But if the green and the blue are in mint condition, it can be an opportunity for somebody and I don't think that it's a rip off... That's my point of view and that's why I'm so surprised to see you guys reactions. Anyway, it made some action and I want to say again that I did not have any bad intentions, dealing for the best price is what I do all day and it's natural for me, it might not be for everyone.
