Here's a jubilee bracelet on a 1979 Rolex GMT.
Dealer description: "Average stretch for its age."
Accurate description: "It's dead, Jim."

 

Erectile dysfunction.

 

About as limp as you can get and still be part of the watch...

Personally, I have always preferred the Oyster bracelet on a GMT... two tone, gold, or stainless steel.

 

Why do gloves seem to convey the wearer that the audience will have absolute trust in his/her description.

Whenever I see a "gloved hand" ad, I immediately look for the elephant behind the door.

 

..and the other wa around: this can happen when you get really close to a dealer description that actually matches the pictures of the advertised watch..

I immediately returned it, needles to say that the advertised 16800 was a different watch than the one I received. "Slight" condition difference also applied to dial, case, hands and the "fully serviced" 3035 movement which refused to correctly set time or hack. Haven't been more pissed in ages after I received this Sub..

I mean..did he think I wouldn't notice??

I couldn't help myself

 

I was using gloves, for my very small YouTube videos - until my wife told me to “stop wearing those serial killer gloves”

 

I trust people who wear gloves

 

me too

 

We have an unspoken rule in my office:
If you have to go to a doctors appointment that requires pants off, you get the whole day off.
If you have to go to a dental appointment that requires pants off- you get two days off for mental distress.

 

not sure where this thread goes now

 

There is a dealer in Beverly Hills that uses mannequin arms. Super creepy.

 

It’s OF, I’m sure cats wearing gloves are soon to follow.

 

What dealer was this? I want to stay away from someone who would sell an entirely different watch then what was advertised.

 

And it took him two weeks to ship it, in country, lousy comms on top added to the whole bad experience..he is in Germany, so I assume no option for you anyway . Casa Pieper (Ebay: vintagetimepieces87)

 

Should add him to the list of shady dealers...do we have one?

 

This was great and I am tempted to hijack the thread by inquiring about everyone’s favorite episode of classic Star Trek, but I digress ...

 

Mirror Mirror

 

Oh, what the hell. Everybody knows that the best episode is “The City On The Edge Of Forever.” Time travel and a stunning Joan Collins as Edith Keeler.

 

Written by Harlan Ellison and resulting in one of his many awards.

oops, we went OT there.

Yes, I hate dealers or just regular people who advertise stuff like that, especially cars. "All highway miles" is one of my favorites, since it's physically impossible unless you live in a rest area. Or "woman owned" as if women take better care of their cars than men do.

OK, sure, they're less likely to drag race you at the light, unless it's my wife in her BMW...
