    Hi all.

    A friend sent me these pics from a flea market he attended today. Apparently, a seller was clearing up in the left-over from her late husbands jewellery store and some watch items were amongst them. He knows a tiny bit about watches and knew that the Omega sign usually means some sad weirdos on the internet could probably be interested ;)

    Would anyone on here be interested? He'll have to get the rest of the watch items also, which was mostly assorted cogs and crowns and the like :confused:

    The seller asked what roughly amounts to $200, but my friend wouldn't want to buy them if he couldn't move them on.

    Cheers!

    Ok guys - time to come clean...


    It's a joke :D


    A friend of mine (who's been into watches wayyyy longer than me!) had these lying around and suggested we tried out a little prank on here to see how everyone would react :)

    I haven't read any of the 6 (!) PMs I've received, but I thank you for the interest!

    I was already wondering why someone with 900+ posts on OF would not immediately recognize a DON, even if he's not into Speedies.
