black Seamasters are extremely sought after, as are crosshairs, Arabic numerals, yellow lume, Ranchero style hour markers, broad arrow hands and lollipop hands. This seller cobbles all these elements together with his horrible fake dials.

It sold for 1,021 GBP. Good Lord.
I know what I’m gonna do to all my original Seamasters….
Yep. Just redial them with Ranchero indices, a crosshair and add some Mercedes hands with bright green lume and you can name your asking price!
Well, if I try to sell an original one here, everyone will shit on it and offer me $12. Obviously the folks buying on eBay know what makes for a good Seamaster.
Yes, I know. These pieces of crap are only worth $8 for the entire lot. I collect them only because I’m bored. I really have to get a set of magic markers and a blowtorch to get them ready to sell.
And clearly your Ranchero is down right boring compared to that Ploychrom hell-scape we saw above- maybe you can have at that with the stencil kit and improve it’s value.
Wonder if this is a different seller or the same seller using multiple accounts with different names? Considering what a franken this watch is, I love the irony in this part of the listing which addresses returns:
“If you are thinking of sending me anything other than the watch I sent you, e.g if you're planning on sending me back a fake, you will be reported to eBay and the watch goes in the bin, and no refund will be issued, so do not waste your time here. I will cover postage costs if it's something I have missed. If I haven't missed it, i.e it is visible in the images, video or has been described the buyer will have to cover the postage costs. Just be honest with me as I will be with you.”
🙄
This sort of rant is a real turnoff to me. I also see it on Craigslist a lot ... "Scammers, don't waste your time!" Just not the sort of seller I'd prefer to deal with.
Very much agree, Dan. Wouldn’t waste any time with this guy because the watch is a franken, but his attitude makes it even worse. No wonder he apparently gets a lot of returns.
