Called Dibs ?

Alpha · Jul 1, 2022

In the near future I intend to part with a few pieces, I did have a list of members who called 'Dibs' on any piece but for some reason it has gone awol 🤦
Drop me a message if you were one of these members and you still have an interest.

Yea that list was me. I had “right of first refusal” on all dibs after which you were going to offer everything to others. We had that argument about discounts I said an 80% discount was too generous and we settled on 70%. Just a reminder it was a while ago we had that discussion.

I didn't call dibs but after seeing some your posts in the WRUW thread, I'm really curious to see which wonderful pieces you are going to part with.

The dibs thing really works among honorable people. I had totally forgotten that one that I listed for sale was “dibs’d” by someone years before and another member, who did want the watch, reminded of the dibs and even sent me the thread! I reached out to the dibser (dibsee?) and they sure enough were elated to get it- and the member who reminded now has first dibs on that one.

Without wishing to be morbid I am a certain age in life that I have to consider what the love of of my life and family would do with my watches if I were to pop off and whilst I love them all I really feel that I should start to reduce the numbers which I am sure you all agree is a difficult decision to make.
No members who called Dibs in the past have come forward so at least I am free agent 😀

I say post them mentioning the dibs clause. If someone has called dibs and another offer has come in before, they can show proof of dibs and match the offer.

Great, now i feel like going through >14.000 posts... 🤦

I think an awful lot of people call dibs just because they love what they see regardless of the fact they may not have the means (now or in the future) to purchase. (And why wouldn't they given what you have had to exhibit in the past!?)
You have been very honourable in allowing the opportunity to state an interest and should now sell with a clear conscience.

I liked that exceptionally stunning omega you had I commented on it mistakenly thinking it was a porcelain dial. I’d like to call unofficial dibs on that but I need to see if my wife’s boyfriend will give me a loan. I’m a simple crayon eater.
Edit:no offense meant to fellow crayon eaters

I’ll give you two for the price of one

The attitude comes free with trade.

You have some of the nicest pieces around. And your photography are second to none. You don’t just collect watches, you presented them under the best lights.
