    Saw this listing:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200844721890&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Told the seller that the 23ZS is a manual wind, not an automatic. He should change it so he doesn't get a return for a bad description. He replies "This is an automatic, not a manual wind watch." If he had the slightest clue you can see there's no rotor! Oh well, I tried.

    After calling me a bunch of names for trying to help him, the seller realized I was correct and changed the listing. :rolleyes: No apology or thank you.

    Just amazed how proud some sellers are. Perhaps he was thinking about this watch when he was listing it. It's an automatic.;)
