    It looks like a nice deal- the lettering on back is pretty razor sharp, so it may indeed be unpolished...but who knows. I do love this guys low-rent ‘dinky superlatives

    “. It shimmers and shines like the clearest full, silvery, moon you've ever seen”

    he may have a future with them yet

    Well fellow bargain hunters, the ship has apparently sailed on the Benrus D-Day reissues. EF24B869-873A-4653-BCAD-12536AA22A5D.png
    I think we can safely say this is an eye watering price for this watch...did we do that?:oops:

    Ha. That's the second time I've put one of his eBay listings up without knowing it. Nice watch especially if anyone is looking for a super compressor.

    It is- I guess I’m just jaded as I bought 2 NOS (and I mean that in the real sense) full sets for under $150 not 3 years ago. We were just knocking them going over $200 a few months ago.
    But in all honesty- it’s a lot of watch for little money- even at $300, just not the steal they once were.

    I am pretty sure this is an OF member. He's selling this watch on the private listings no?

    Gotta click the link to see that striped dial- wow! I don’t know the brand, but if that said Eterna or Omega on the dial- it would be gone already

    Looks great, just don't tell a Spanish Speaker your watch is "Del ano". Año means year. So del año means of the year. "Del ano" means something very different.
