This has absolutely nothing to do with pipes but.... I've mentioned before that I've found some pipe related items at garage sales, but this non pipe score was really amazing. Last Saturday I went to a community garage sale and as I always do, I was there early... before the sun came up. I believe in the early bird theory. Anyway, I stopped at this one sale and while looking around and putting a couple of items aside to buy, something caught my eye. Now, I don't usually look at jewelry but this watch looked exceptional. There on the table was a gorgeous Tissot (pronounced "T-so" for the uneducated among us). It was a stainless chronograph and like new. No price tag so I asked the lady what she wanted for it. To my surprise she burst into tears and told me how it had been her dear uncle's who had recently passed. I offered my condolences and said he had great taste in watches. Then, to my great surprise again, she said that I had been nice and to make it a legal sale and not a gift, I could have it for ONE dollar. Now. usually when someone offers something too cheap, I keep my mouth shut and simply fork over the cash. But in this case I felt bad for her so I told her it was worth a lot more than that. She insisted so the deal was made. So for the last couple of days my trusty old Omega Seamaster has been sitting on a shelf and I've been wearing the Tissot. Not only did a get a great watch at a bargain price, I also got a great story to bore ever one with. Click the link below if you want to see it.
