"RARE! 11-HOUR WATCH FOR POLAR USE"

 

Talk about raising a red flag

 

not sure where this sits in the forum's misogyny stakes....
but I'm sure at least bits of it have been 'fluffed up'
described as a 1935 Omega glass ball clock

terrible redial, who ever heard of a blond Egyptian!

 

Obviously, that is Alexander the Great

 

Oh..... now that I think of it, my uncle had one of those limited edition "Alexander the Great" prototype watches.

Suppose we're seeing why he was known as "the great"?

 

With a BIN of $675, this won't last long...

 

Another smashing offer:

The minute marker after the 6pm aperture - "oops, down a bit!!"

 

Anyone for some "g lume"

 

Now please guess where this picture is from...

 

I know it's a redial but the seller claims it's a pie pan, which it isn't. Does that make it a faked pie pan and worthy of reporting? Or is a mention to the seller enough, assuming they correct the listing?

Fantastic polish job though, I bet he actually changes his wheels and compounds to get such a shiny finish.
He shouldn't have let his five year old do the dial though.

 

The dealer said he would correct the listing to address the issues.

 

This watch is actually a piece of the official omega collection, shown at the omega museum in Biel/Bienne!

 

Well, he removed the Pie Pan reference but doesn't mention the refinished dial. So much for his integrity.
