Everything about this one is horrible to be honest. Not sure why it's described as a "hummer" either.

There's something very "outsider art" appealing about these freehand redials. As if Grandma Moses went to work for International Dial.

I don't even think you should use the word "honest" in your post about it. 😜

Haha, at least they had the honesty to say that it's refurbished! In a way, I don't mind these hilariously bad far-east efforts as at least they're easy to spot and they're giving it a go with the clearly limited resources at their disposal.

It's the undeclared and intentionally "just good enough to initially fool newbies like me" refurbs which are annoying, and make sites like this one so useful 👍

One of the Aussie uses of "hummer" means something that stinks, surrounded by a swarm of buzzing blowflies, usually a turd.

A description that could well be applied to this piece of crap.

A 'hummer' around here is either an Accutron movement or a bj. 😜

Dennis, where is your mind? A "Hummer" is slang for a hummingbird or the name for someone who doesn't know the words to a song.
You are watching too much porn !

Sir, I beg to differ. It's quite clearly the Californian Sapsucker; although seen here in regal blue, it is however also often spotted in festive colours such as Kelly Green (ah begorrah!).

The Ukranian Finch is better known for its feints and creative, often fanciful inventions, rather than by the use of colourful plumage.

Whereas the Californian prefers to loiter by the stream edge, calling seductively to the Green Horn that is its true prey.

Yes, as you can see, they've turned up their pant and jacket cuffs so as not to get wet in the flood. Clever.

moving away from European men's clothing fashion and back to worse redials..

The Seller's definition of the casing in "very good" condition in the listing is commendable..... "CASE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION JUST BUFFED, ORIGINAL CASE BACK FULLY HALLMARKED INSIDE, UNFORTUNATELY THE CONSTELLATION LOGO HAS COMPLETELY FADE OUT"

Ah, at last! The long-lost Omega Fuego, the firefighter's funky friend. If only Omega had thought to paint their name in fire-resistant paint.
