    Free Stuff

    If people are so inclined, feel free to add to this thread, if you want to give watch related stuff away, if that seems like a good idea...

    --

    To start....

    I have a very watch-addicted friend who often gives me things because he doesn't want to throw them away, and doesn't want the hassle of selling. Sometimes I sell or give away the watches he gives me (as someone here recently discovered) but I have no idea what to do with these brand catalogs. They are very high quality, two hardback, full color, designed to be in retail shops to browse. I will happily send one or all to anyone - for free if in USA as I can use Book Rate postage. To European friends, shipping would probably cost too much for the content, alas.

    Books are Longines, Zenith, Breguet, and distributor Westime. I also have an Oris book I got at Toppers that I don't need. Here are the first four:

    I think I have a taker for some or all of these. Unless another person chimes in, I will send them all to boatme99.

    Stay tuned, because I might also have a few watches to give away (if anyone needs a quartz beater.)

    Very generous of you, Ismy.

    I believe cn22/23 forms are not needed within the EU. Are they?

    just know in the uk can be a large letter and be a couple of quid and quick and simple thats how I like it

    Yes, there's the monetary issues - Euro/Pound. And, as we all know, things may become even trickier.

    mean irelands a real tricky one got friend over there that regular crossed the boarder for there shopping the prices and easy of getting stuff is really hard one side it seems .

    That's a really classic Seiko, ISMY. I hope you get a taker! I'll be adding some more quartzies here, but not nearly as WIS-friendly as that one.
