but sometimes there is a pony under it if you keep shoveling.

The price is too high for the collective garbage but who wants to see how low this dude will go.

Ok Patina junkies- here you go!

SS Eternamatic Kontiki 20.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/284059701699

Dinky style description:
This watch has stood the test of time with its case and medallion back showing years of devoted love and attention. The starry-night dial speckled like the night sky and beautifully aged lume the color of a moonlit pond.

Ok- now my description- a very overpolished and moisture damaged Kontiki, crown isn't original and dial moisture damage is actually pretty even- lume is a poop/ash color. Medillion is worn down well but still visible. But most importantly, it's a Kontiki for under $200.
Got to love poop colored patina!

I don’t know if this is cheap but it looks interesting.
Looks like another poor- man's Polerouter. Post the link so we can all find it.

I recently received the first of the two Bulovas that I bought after seeing them in this thread.
I'm very happy with how this one turned out and have ordered a new 17mm strap.

This one isn't recommend. Just one for us all to goggle at 😲 I don't know how the seller listed this with a straight face.

Well it doesn't say Spares / Repair in the title so if it's not a redial, at $250 it looks like a bargain.😁

BIN for $2,000, then the EBay authenticators can give it a look over for you 👍
