    Unless it is a special Aussie Rules timer, at least some of the parts are co-ordinated. The hour and minute hands go with the case back and the small dial hands go with the dial. I have no idea what the sweep hand belongs to. Then it gets smothered in purple goo to make it look like a rare find.

    At least the seller had the decency to put it in a straight auction without a wankers reserve.

    The new owners of WatchCo Australia aren't assembling the correct parts together.

    Perhaps they figure Omega did it, so ....

    This example includes the foll disclosure (amongst others) --

    "We have fitted a Moon to Mars dial and hands to this watch. This watch has been assembled using GENUINE ad Original Omega material."
