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.

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!
