    From my point of view the watch is presented in such a poor way that it prevents people from taking a closer look at the offer

    - Just my personal taste of course

    Which object is for sale actually? The glass? The clock behind the granit black stone? Cannot see it properly it looks like a nice clock :)

    Placed a low bid on a watch that had a not too good seller's image and nothing to give a sense of scale. It was described as a man's watch but when I got it it turned out to be a tiny Kelton brand ladies watch.
    Since I had less than ten bucks in it and it was in decent shape and fairly clean I decided to keep it because I was interested in its ultra simple tiny movement.
    After it locked up tight for no apparent reason I put it aside and forgot about it. Last week I found it sitting on a shelf over my work bench.
    I had decided it wasn't worth the effort and intended to toss it in the trash. When I picked it up I'd forgotten that I'd left the two piece case back unsecured and the movement popped out and fell about a foot and a half and impacted a heavy alloy ash tray then bounced and skittered across the bench. When I picked it up and blew the ashes and dust off I found it was running strong. Using a needle I transferred a tiny amount of lube to the stem and to those pivots I could reach. After a bit of adjustment its running reliably and keeping excellent time.
    Don't know what I'll do with it, but It was fun to get it working.
