Another Watch.

[petersmart]

I have seen quite a few shots on here of expensive watches taken in macro.

To help restore balance to the universe here is a shot of MY watch which I bought over a year ago from a trader with a barrow piled high with them.

They all exhibited the hallmarks of what Alan Sugar would have described as a "mug's eyeful"!

In other words cheap tat -

But it only cost me £2.00 and actually keeps surprisingly good time, gaining about 5 secs a week.

I think Rolex might have something to say about the "Oyster Perpetual" bit though

I think the REAL hallmark is on the back - it says "Stainless steel, made in china" -

But of course that could be fake - :nuts:

Nice and sharp! Have you thought of approaching a high end dealer to take some in store?

Unfortunately I haven't seen the guy again - he must have been only there for Christmas.

If he made a profit at those prices he must have been buying them by the container load.
