Trade 470 Double Rifle for a Rolex?

[franzfmdavis]

Superficial at first blush, this thread sheds strong light on the entire concept of "African Safari". What is it worth? What watch would you wear? I want the REAL Africa of yore. But do they have WIFI? Last night I dreamed I was confronting a wounded dagga boy......shot in the right hip by the anemic and oft condemned 458 WM. As he approached, slowly looking, smelling and eventually sighted me....nose straight out, then head dropped and charged. Alas, I had traded my Merkel for a Rolex Yacht Master. Woke up in a sweat afterward................GLWS or trade. ....................FWB

Hahahaha

Congratulations to both parties.

Interesting how things have worked out. Not sure this would even be possible on any other site. A testament to the quality members of AH.

The watch has been in my possession since Monday. It is exactly as described and I am very happy with it.

The rifle is on the way to his ffl and will be subject to Franz’s approval.

Franz has been a great guy to deal with.

I love the barter system!

Britt has been great to deal with as well and has become a friend! He has gone above and beyond to call me with tips and details, not only regarding the gun but also regarding loads and other helpful information!

I hope we see more of these deals. Exciting to read unfold. The Explorer 2 is one of the best looking Rolex ever made IMHO
