    Found this to be a refreshingly honest EBay description. Shame there weren't more like him. Even his username gave me a chuckle.

    "Optimist wanted to restore this poor Seiko Pogue. As you can see the crystal and bezel are detached from the case, the second hand looks like Gandalf's stick, and believe it or not it doesn't run (though it did - once- when I picked it up for examination, so something in there exists and at least tries to perform.
    But make no mistake, this is for spares or repairs. No bracelet, but on the plus side it does have a Water 70M Resist dial in fair condition (certainly as good as the one on my wearer Pogue) and a Water Resistant legend on the caseback which is in similar better-that-you-would-think condition.
    Doing no-one any good in the bottom of my watch drawer, so 99p start, no buy-it-now, free RM 1st class UK postage or £5-00 worldwide. Insurance extra, though why you would want to insure this is debatable.
    Inspection welcome."

    Uh Oh, that reminds me, I'd better get back to my Pogue project.

    I'm suspicious – it's probably not as bad as he suggests. :D
