Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[SlimKlim]

Well I won a 1960s 'JDM' 21-Jewel Seiko Sportmatic for $30 on eBay last night, which is good. Then I blew through the eBay checkout process and realized afterwards I had shipped it to my old house, which is bad.

So, assuming it does eventually end up in my possession, I'm looking forward to tinkering with my first "project" watch. It needs a good polish, a crystal replacement and a new band.

I submitted a "Package Intercept Request" at a cost of $19 (yes, for a $30 item) to make sure that this would make it to the correct address. I got an update last night that it was at the Dulles post office, which is where it should've stayed until it went out for delivery. But this morning it went to the Sterling post office, which is the distribution center for the old address. I called them and got parked on hold for 10 minutes to be told that they can't find the package, and suggested I call the Dulles location to see if it got kicked back over there. 90 minutes later and upwards of 20 calls to Dulles later, they still will not pick up the fucking phone.

I can actually feel my blood pressure rising.
