Post by gaf1958 »

A used CW standard leather strap listed on eBay at a mere £139.99. not even a genuine alligator one, just a croc print...

Maybe the seller meant the price to be £13.99?

Its also been wrongly described. All CWL 22mm straps that taper, do so by 2mm; so it should have a 20mm clasp. Unless it's a 20mm strap.

That has been listed for months, you'd think they might have realised by now it could need a slight price reduction...by at least 90% :o

He is the guy who sells watches that have been badly modified - didn't he have a C60 with C6 internals?

What, along the lines of my FrankenWard? I thought I was the only one silly enough to do that...

Here's another overly optimistic seller...a very ambitious £1,250 for a pre-owned Elite :shock:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CHRISTOPHER- ... SwhCpapSgB

He even has the audacity to state that low offers will be automatically rejected. I wonder what a low offer would be..maybe the full original RRP of £750 :o
