    Anyone care to predict what this "mint", "original", "unrestored" monstrosity goes for? I'll say $750USD...

    But it has the super rare italicized "Constellation" font! I'm guessing ~1100USD because some poor non OF soul will be bidding on it

    Okay, lets be honest, for most people on here that looks quite shocking. But for your average Joe does it look so bad? A few quid to spend on a nice Constellation, good, honest EBay description, good Feedback. Actually looks rather good.

    What are you drinking?

    Or smoking?

    Are you looking at the same listing from the seller with 5 neg feedbacks in less than 12 months who is selling a fake cased redial with a 55* /56* number problem?

    Unless you were jokin'

    @JimInOz Answering your first question might answer the rest.
    8 or 9 tins of something that make Castlemaine 4X taste like Amber Nectar and a fair bash at a cheap bottle of whisky made from Molasses which is probably Rum.
    So I apologise for my rather inept reply.

    Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY ANY WATCHES until you change to Fat Yak Pale Ale (no buying after four stubbies).

    I know "somebody" who bought a fake Seamaster at about midnight one evening, after a few Guinnesses and a Lagavulin nightcap.

    Is Fat Yak Pale Ale anything like Fosters Roo Piss? I "know" somebody that has woken up next to something worse than a fake Seamaster after a few Guinness and Jamesons.

    Beautiful beer, and the company has a strong social conscious. (FYI @STANDY )

    Fosters? WTF is Fosters? I haven't seen or drunk it since about 1975 (thank god).

    Fat Yak is a nice drop on a hot day, about 100 times better than FRP.

    So did you have to dingo it, or do you still have two arms?

    :D

    A Gentleman never divulges such things.
    Dingo would have been the best option but I still have two arms.

    Fosters is what we ended up with after CSB went out the window. VB wasn't too bad but anything that whet your whistle would have been good in Dampier or Karratha.

    I got stuck in Alice Springs with three cases of Southwark stubbies after we sent a newbie to buy beer.
    I couldn't give it away so I left it on the Herc when we got to Exmouth, and then found out that the mess only had Emu.
    There were lots of forays into town on that trip.

    What's wrong with Emu? Geez you Aussies are a funny bunch. You watch Sons and Daughter, The Sullivans and Neighbours but you get all uppity with a bottle of Piss?:D
