Is there anything specific that I should look for? For the sale price, which is quite low, I'm not expecting anything out of this world but it will be a good way to see if I like the feel. I'm looking at the three on the right. I'd probably take all of them if it works out.
If you are going to find a watch on CL (presumably a gen), and don't know too much about the watch, it is highly recommended that you and the seller take it to an AD to check it out. If you are buying a rep from CL, then it's totally buyer beware. Do your homework here first before venturing out on CL and buying reps from there. Alot of Canal St. crap can look pretty damn good to an untrained eye.
