Saw this is an eBay add
"Please do not ask if this watch is authentic. I have been a collector of fine Swiss watches for over 20 years. I have no interest in trading counterfeit luxury goods. However, I am making myself clear by mentioning that the BRACELET IS A NON-GENUINE EQUIVALENT."

At first, I thought this meant it was just a generic oyster bracelet, which would be fine. No. It's an out-and-out fake

Don't be too harsh; the poor schmuck is ethically challenged.

Did the internet make people more stupid ?

Or is it just doing a very good job of showing us just how stupid many people can be ?

Actually after selling my kidney for an 114060 I had an eBay "NON-GENUINE EQUIVALENT" kidney implanted. It's good but it does tend to rattle a little when I run, but outside of that no real complaints.
