True that, Syrte.

Especially since ... "The quality is ... dripping off of this watch."

How to not sell a watch on ebay.....
Step one: Take REALLY bad angle pictures to keep them confused.
Step two: Ask a ridiculous price.
Step three: Don't show'em what's inside.
Step four: List it for 30 days and hope some sucker can't live without it.
Step Five: Over polish EVERYTHING

Burnt savanna?

I think it's "I left my watch outside the fallout shelter" variety

What the heck - don麓t be so picky... it is chocolate and tropical at least and hence commands high $$$$$

Sorry, we can't declare @kingsrider the winner. This isn't even the most unrealistic/wishful thinking of this watch or seller. This one has shown up in this thread for YEARS...and last year he was asking $55,000

sent him a message,

RE certificate of authenticity.
hello i'm just enquiring as to this fine timepiece, i see indeed you have taken the most excellent of photographs and i LOVE your description.. You are a man after my own heart. I was merely enquiring as to the nature of the certificate of authenticity, which authoritative governing body may it be that issue this? where has this wonderful timepiece been appraised is it an "Omega extract of the archives" or another independent expert? the section i refer to is in purple and reads..

(((((((((((((( ITEM WILL COME WITH CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY))))))))))))))))

thank you for the oportunity to purchase such a fine wristwatch.

I look forward to hearing your response.

your faithfully Dr. Gull I.B. LeGreen

ME.. in my element i may add... 馃榿

Dearest Darling Whiskey,

How is it you could possibly have known that!?

I indeed have no hearing in my right ear and have lost much of my language ability due to my third stroke, It has been hard since my wife died at the great fire at the boathouse in 96. Now only I am left on the great estate. We never could have children as she was barren (crushed by a fallen tree as a teen)

However the maid, Natalia, a young little thing wannabe model from Russia, past her prime now they say at 23, has been quite the accommodating maid she takes care of me well, especially so, every second friday if i slip a little extra in her salary. If you catch the drift of an old man.

So i'm happy to contact you via ebay messages as my mind is still bright and i can type! my fingers be most nimble, an atribute i put down to being the kind of man not afraid to play my own flute so to speak and quite regularly too!

I would help keep ebay happy too, as to quote directly from the bible that is eBay policy "Including contact information or an offer within a Best Offer, email message or other communication to an eBay user." is not allowed

I would never wish to dispossess a fine young man as yourself of his treasures least not of all for a fair price, I am most happy with asking prices for such a rare Omega Lazarus Benrus

I merely would like to inquire as to the authoritative body that has appraised the watch and offers the Certificate, Who is it the certificate is issued by? maybe an expert and figure at one of the leading auction houses? A member of the Guild of watchkmakers? any one of the Many authoritative bodies on Omega horology?

Lazarus incidentally is my favorite disciple of Jesus, The biblical narrative of the Raising of Lazarus is found in chapter 11 of the Gospel of John.

to my dearest friend, neigh! To my Brother far flung to the opposite sides of the world may he be i do hope this finds you in the finest of health,
Warmest regard to all, your old friend in body but not in soul!

faithfully, Best/Warm wishes, May your loin seed be fruitful, Confusion to our enemies Thankley Dankley

I've had several "conversations" with this guy about the price. You gotta love a guy who lists it for $10,000, BIN: $15,000, doesn't sell. Then relists it for $20,000, BIN $28,000. These type of sellers unfortunately prey on the inexperienced. Fortunately, so far, no one has taken the bait.
