Reached out re: a watch on eBay, that to my eye has replaced hands. Asked if the original hands would be included?
Fair question? Guess not...
Got a response saying I’m wrong, the hands pictured are original, and now I’m not allowed to purchase from them.
Wow. They showed me. Guess I’ll just... wait for it... spend my money elsewhere!

Dude! NEVER ask about the originality of wristwatch hands on eBay. You will be immediately disqualified from bidding further or purchasing. So sorry you had to find out about it this way...

I got this far in life without learning this lesson. But now I feel complete.
