Wishful Thinking - Watches that have unrealistic price expectations

Not sure if this was already listed but to just to clarify, this is for the BOX only...

It's like when certain car dealers used to add their own badge on the back of a car. Jeez.

Hi! I found this on French classifieds site, Le Bon Coin:

I’m no expert on the Geneve Dynamic range of watches but I’ve a feeling that the dial is wrong.
This doesn’t deter the seller who decided to describe the watch as being « très très » rare and to ask more than even the craziest fool on Chrono24.

🤨

Such an easy mistake to make. 😜

Surprised that these 3 jokes werent posted already (from same seller too) All in "like new" condition of course, all appraised by the seller to cost several 100 % more than what they are actually worth. Best part is:

Movement: Automatic

This joker has a bunch of other watches that are just as ridiculously overpriced for sale.

Only $5000 BIN:

As with all good watches it comes with a story!

"Omega Seamaster Swiss Men Mechanical Vintage Watch Jewels (Rare) AUTHENTIC. Condition is Pre-owned (Story behind it, was bought by my grandpa by a coworker in the 60’s, it has been verified authentic can send paper, his coworker said there was only 100 made. Have the paper really don’t want to come down on price, but willing some-reasonable offeres"

That one really, really, really deserves to have the whole description copied and pasted here:

This is the story about this Vintage Divers watch. In that building (photo),for CLASSIFIED reasons I will just say (building.) This building had all this junk in one of the basements from this room.
The room was occupied by "Poltergeist" one guy slept one night in that very room and dreamed someone brought him a cup of tea. He then awakened and found this 250 year old tea cup and saucer next to him this happened in 1986.

Their was scary whispers and sounds coming from this room & there was this small hole you had to open to get to the junk.
One day I went into the basement and found the watch, The CAMY watch crystal was all Scratched! everywhere ..you couldn't see the dial.. It was all foggy scratched ..and broken to. The seconds hand was missing ,there was only two hands on the dial and the watch case it was covered in some brown dark rusty debris all over inside out.
I can't find the pictures, if I can find it I will upload them Anyhow I just RAN my way out! of their.

Well, that's not quite correct - it is made by Heuer. This and the Zodiac GMT are both pretty much identical to the 2446C. These pictures below are taken from an auction for a "salesman sample" case, dial, handset, that had no movement. It sold for $2800, and if you look you can see that the "Heuer-Leonidas" is overstamped on the inside of the watch case, and that the case itself is still marked 2446C.
