Yeah, right!

Hey- that’s a lot of jewels!

Only $72.50 per jewel. Only about $70.00 per too much. 🙄

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.

Maybe i should sell my watches to him if he thinks these are the right prices!! lol

This guy has very high expectation for all of his watches...wow!

If anyone wants to offer me $2.4k, I’ll happily sell mine and buy another for $500. Mine even has endlinks that fit!

Thisone is on sale at near 1400 USD on a known watch site. Which is not too bad, with this pretty 1930s dial:

However, the B side is a bit of a let down. Survived a fire?

This 1970s hunk of beast is being offered as a restoration project from a seller in Norway on Finn.no. Its a general sales site, similar to craigslist. A mere snip at 10,000 NOK/950EUR/1120USD. I think this one needs a bit more than some polywatch and a change of battery.

That thing's not worth $11, much less $1100. Probably one the worst posts I've seen on here.

Dear god; it's like some sci-fi movie prop where they find something from a wrecked spaceship...🤮

Anyone interested in a 3000€-Genève? According to the emotional description, this in a unique watch. Indeed, I haven’t seen one other glossy-black-dial Genève with a two-tone day/date disc before. 😁
