    Anyone can ask whatever they want for something...doesn't mean it will sell for what they are asking.

    It appears to be leaving "droppings" on the table.
    Can feces defecate?

    No, but it can propagate via division.

    you can actually fix that through extensive laser welding and case work. total cost would be ridiculous for the value of what you have there though...

    I presume the 2 offers were "nothing" and "next to nothing"

    Probably Dennis with his famous $1 offer (and how could you refuse). One day he's going to get taken up on it ;)

    Maybe this is from the first watch on the Mars, not on the Moon.

    Similar sort of thing, except Dennis makes them an offer they can't understand.

    I sell items everyday, some fine, some not so fine. I was once told there is an Ass for every saddle. Someone may actually want this, given the price is right.

    Wow thanks for the heads up I'm just waiting to see if he accepts my offer. I might as well start getting the other pieces together for it. Has anyone got a spare case, dial, pushers, case back, movement, seals, inner chrome ring, spring bars, strap etc.
    I don't need a bezel.
