Wishful Thinking - Watches that have unrealistic price expectations

I think there is a currency issue. The dude is in Guyana. 1 Guyana = $.0048 USD. So 50,000 Guyanese bucks equal $240 USD. A reasonable price for a buy it now or best offer from a noob. No?

Except he's starting at US $50k. Not 50k Guyana.

This was on auction a few days ago, ended at 2,900 and now it's back, from the same seller, at 7,500 BIN http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=281713438251

OK, so it's an Omega. And it's old. And it's probably a converted small pocketwatch:

But $4,000? Really?

yeah.... check the bottom of the lugs, a mass of solder! That would be a $300 watch in nice unmolested shape, as is its a nice low grade parts movement and some silver to sell for its melt value.

but a man needs a dream right!

I've been following this Ranchero with curiosity. The seller listed it once and stopped it after $2.2K, listed it again and let it close at $2.9K. NOW listing it again with a buy it now for $7.5K? Wow. High expectations.

I don't normally go for battery powered watches, but I quite like the look of that! - do you know what model it is, so I can keep an eye out for one (any ideas what sort of price a nice one would be worth?)

Ignore the last post - just realised it's an automatic, but I'd still be interested to know more about that model if anyone knows

$5,199 for a gold capped Connie. The guy could also win an award for worst photography

Maybe the seller has the gallantry award medal stashed away with this watch.
