    Surely it's developed "a nice patina"

    The dial is in such good condition its 'Excellent Condition Condition '.

    Looks like it survived Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy...

    Silly question, is there a way to repair the case to make it super duper excellent condition?

    Actually, cases like this can be re-chromed.

    The “shape” tends to tell me it’s a watch. It’s the condition that is questionable!

    I'm scared (but curious) to see what they would consider a watch in poor condition ::facepalm1::

    That's an item in the Sellers' Dictionary of the English Language:

    Excellent condition: See photos.

    I can't believe they think that 'prop' will help sell the watch

    I feel like they are describing a different watch than what is in the pictures. "Original dial with expert restoration in Excellent Condition Condition" - I mean I know no one around here wants a redial, but if that's "restored" condition, what the hell did it look like before??!?
