    We've all seen them, horrible redials, over polished cases, bullshit descriptions, laughable asking prices.

    This one checks just about all the boxes.

    Finally!!! I always thought 3,6,9 was just too much, so much cleaner with just the 6 & 9 ... and a date window to boot! symmetry at its finest.

    Could it simply be part of a Halloween costume? 62015DE6-DACC-4D8B-9A7D-D8542FC8E2B5.jpeg

    Somebody put the decimal point in the wrong place.

    I'd post my eBay Horror, which is a sales account statement with a -2.00 charge for October, but that would probably be too much information. eBay is a horrible place to sell. I will have to basically give away the non omega stuff I no longer want just to pay the fees. I guess no one else wants it too.

    Oh what the hell I redacted it. If this is not a horror for a first time wannabe seller, I do not know what is. Screen Shot 2022-11-06 at 10.44.26 AM.png

    I think I am going to call it greedBay now (If I had not done earlier.) Or simply grdBay.

    These absolute POS have been stinking up
    EBay UK for a year or more now. Most coming from the same seller. The horrible thing is, they sell and often for in excess of £1000!

    I find it so hard to differentiate an original from a reproduction

    Yup! We can put up original Cal 30’s all day at $700 and they don’t move, yet these things fly at $1k

    Perhaps the most disturbing element of this seller's sales is that he is lauded as an 'expert' on uk antiques programmes.

    To be fair he does describe it as a later dial, but it’s informative that he chooses to sell crap like this.
