Lemania ... Landeron, what's the difference? 🤦

Does this type of thing annoy you also, or are my expectations too high? (Don't even look at the price.)

Sloppy, but that highly prized Italian leather watch pouch will lessen the buyer’s sting.

Well I give up…Who’s the perp? As discussed, black dial is a premium…but not this premium…

“Rotating hours bezel with original black, and red 12 enamel”

Enamel not included, but the extra comma is our highly prized gift to you

The dealer in question has compiled a long history of misrepresentations. I began to point some out five years ago! Here are a couple of examples:

Caveat emptor!

I have seen many other blatant errors in their listings, like a chronograph without an hour register sub-dial described as a Valjoux 72.

I think I can see a bit of black. 😁

Yes, it's a pretty sloppy description for an experienced seller. "Tapered luminous hands", should really be described as "Lozenge hands".

I probably would have described them as alpha or lance hands.

All that aside…it’s a good, not excellent watch that has obviously been well used for its purpose, the bezel holds it back. It will sell but not at that number.
