    This guy "accidentally" left off the last letter of the watch name in the title of his listing. Is it a Top Time? No: it's a Top Timer! https://www.ebay.com/itm/303587515006?ul_noapp=truePurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I like that the watch "runs well"--that painted-on sub hand included!

    It's a real beauty, though, nonetheless:

    Yup, there's a good reason that hand'll never reach Splendor

    Thankfully it's a 'hard to find model' - EDIT, actually it isn't..

    Most of his other items look like Wish specials, especially the Sky Dweller

    it's all about the hitz. just like the media.

    a couple of my personal favs are finding the size of the watch somewhere buried in the description. when it's usually buried it's usually a ladies watch..

    c'mon...who doesn't like all those 30/32mm watches being described as midsize....especially when pictured next to those 25mm ones. this is 1960 isn't it..

    i also like the listings being sold "as is" no returns from pawn shops that are untested, as if they never tried to put a battery in a watch they're trying to get several hundred of dollars for.,...lol
