I was hoping I could snatch a very colorful Deep Blue Juggernaut, with an amazing MOP dial and shiny white bezel. Because I already bought 3 watches, 2 of them way over $200, I made a deal with myself - Snipe it at € 200 or leave it. Well, one of the 5 bidders had a higher bid in mind and sniped it away for a little bit more. It is was my first watch to bid on, I could have done better.
Anyway, same seller had a 'used' (looks like new) automatic from a niche brand "Audaz" for sale, it was around $ 125 and didn't move much. (2 bidders) Looked it up and it was € 425 new! It has a sturdy and different case and light blue dial. According to reviews on the site it has strong lume. The back is a work of art! I think I am going to love it. Now I'm going to stop buying watches in the USA, have to figure out if we can take that load home as I am supposed not to bring more bought value than € 430, but for 2 people that is € 860, so I have to ask Paula to carry 2 of mine.
And then there is what I wear on my wrist too of course. 
OK, here it is...

Congrats, Johan! That case back alone is worth the price. It looks awesome! So much better than another basic NH35 under glass. I wish more brands affordable brands had such nice backs, instead of glass. And the end links on the shark mesh are fantastic. Wear a watch on both arms on the way home! Tell them you always wear two watches because you're a watch geek. 
Don't think I look rich! When coming back, we first land in Dublin and arrive in EU in Ireland, and then with a smaller plane to Amsterdam Airport, so no checks in Holland between the EU countries.
