Even took me a few seconds to notice the missing marker! Must have been dazzled by the chalk writing 馃槣

"RARE! 11-HOUR WATCH FOR POLAR USE"

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"?

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. 馃檮
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.
