    Some peoples stupidity amazes me, this one bid up to over $300 when I reported it.

    That's a Constellation reference number stamped inside the back!

    People are getting rash and idiotic in their haste for vintage watches - especially "military" ones.

    Sir-
    I resent your remark implying that 'rash & idiotic' is recent development. I have spent years developing 'rash & idiotic' into a proud tradition and a fine art as it applies to vintage watch buying. I will not be belittled!

    Isn't there a profound irony in developing rash behavior over several years? :p

    Hey, some of us are naturals, and in some of us have to work at it.

    I know I get a rash sometimes looking at all the junk foisted upon on the unsuspecting eBay buyer on a daily basis. ::puke::

    This is the thing that irritates me most. This will kill the interest of potential new collector.

    Thank-you.
