Victorinox Swiss Army Watch

Brand new, never used/worn, still in original box with tags, protective plastic. Will get some pics up later tonight.
Model No. 241196 (Alpnach Chrono) - a google search will turn up some good links.
This model is no longer made. I bought brand new on a closeout sale at Staples (yes, to my surprise, Staples sells watches too!). I actually bought two with the intentions of keeping the second as a spare. I love the watch and wanted it for a long time, and when I came across the deal, could not pass it up. Realize that it's silly to keep the backup, and could use the money instead! I wear the other one daily and absolutely love it.
Some key specs that sold me on it:
- Swiss made
- AR Sapphire crystal (has a subtle blue tint to it that in my opinion makes it look awesome)
- Movement - ETA Calibre 251.262
- Four function chrono - full sweep second AND minute hands, 1/10 second subdial, hour subdial
- Date at 4 O'clock
- Beautiful color combination (stainless bracelet, black face with brushed stainless hours, brushed stainless or red hands)
Prefer to sell to a polkie than deal with CL or Ebay. I don't have a ton of posts, but have made a couple transactions here if anyone would like references! I'll even go so far as to offer that if you don't like it, I'll buy it back. I take pride in developing and KEEPING a great reputation on CP.
Open to offers but would like to get $350 (free shipping, and I'll cover the PP fees).

Very nice watch , the Swiss ETA Calibre 251.262 is a very nice quartz engine.

Weekend BUMP...
$325 to your door. -
Bump for final price drop before listing elsewhere...
$300 shipped.
This is an $895 retail watch, that is still $399 + tax on Amazon - best I could find. It was only out of it's box for the pictures.
I know this probably isn't the best place to sell a watch...! But the trust factor that this great group brings is worth the loss I'm taking over listing it on ebay where they're fetching $350-$400. I'm wearing this exact same model watch right now and love it more and more every day. I'd keep it as a backup (as originally planned) if we didn't just drop a buttload of $$ to prebuy our propane for the winter!
Thanks - Al -
Gonna give it one last bump here.
Any takers on a fine brand-spankin'-new watch for $300? I'll give it another week or so, then I'll try ebay. -
ok. send me a pm with paypal info if you can ship it to my po box. I have bought many items here.

PM (with paypal info) sent. Sorry for the delay - weekend chores! I don't see any reason why shipping to your PO Box would be a problem.
Thanks! -
Mods - Please mark this as SOLD.
Bob - thanks for the super-fast payment. The watch is on its way. Will send tracking info in PM or email. Let me know when you get it and if everything is as you expected.
Polkie - thanks for the free bump, and compliments on the watch.
Love this forum!
