Wishful Thinking - Watches that have unrealistic price expectations

This one looks really nice too. Makes me miss mine

Yup, best bang for the buck in nicely sized vintage divers…at under $400…not $1.6k

Cool Vintage Watches. At Not So Cool Prices. $2465 for a very rough Slim Willard with the wrong crown (correct for the 611x) and corroded/rusted hands and dimensional hour markers. I wouldn't pay half this price for this one.

This dial has more different fonts than a garage sale flyer designed by an over-enthusiastic third-grader

So, it is a prototype dial

Love the eBay commission links on the "unrealistic price expectations" thread -- good luck! (seriously)

This one claims to be an Omega 30T2RG chronometre, but the case is not, the movement is not, the dial is not ...

A photo might be a good idea.

Was producing the image so it was simple to look all together. Sorry, 4 min late

Do not worry. Authenticity is guaranteed

As a side note, would love to know who the 32 people are that are watching this listing. Maybe a bit of schadenfreude lurking?

I love my Eternas, and the Kontiki Super 130 FTP is a rare bird indeed, but $10k? The description is priceless, though.

I do love a 2998 bargain. What am I missing?

Maybe that’s Philips’ ebay account

Nah, if it was Philips, there would be another zero. 😲

So it’s not uncommon to see a Seamaster De Ville with a bent or even missing lug, they’re relatively thin and if abused these things happen to them. I’ve not seen one with more than one missing before though because once one fails you don’t keep wearing or messing with it for more to fall off.

That is until now, with the Seamaster De Ville… undersized pointless pocket watch? Like a crab that’s popped it’s legs off it’s essentially worthless now except as a donor but the owner still wants $500

Re-listed at the bargain price of $6500 lol.
Equally priceless description.

"Only flaw is the band connections are missing but is an easy fix". 🤦
