Re: Weird Ebay ad
Probably works in marketing.
Should get a new job. Sneaked in the bit about no box and papers in the middle though. Would not buy a well known watch off eBay without box and papers no matter how clever the ad is.

Re: Weird Ebay ad
I enjoyed that. What a refreshing ad.
My only criticism is that much as I admire Sean Connery, OHMSS was by far and away the best Bond film. I thought Lazenby was a good replacement. It was only a shame that he thought that by appearing in the Dairy Milk Tray ads of the time meant that he should have been paid more for his second Bond role. Cubby didn't buy that and employed our Rog who spent the next 12 years taking the mickey out of the role, more's the pity.
Oh and the watch. Shame it's the quartz midsize and not the full size automatic. I might have been interested.

Re: Weird Ebay ad
Like it! Who'd be brave enough to buy it after a write-up like that?!

Re: Weird Ebay ad
Looks to be genuine though. I might have been tempted as well.
Someone's going to be happy with that one.

"you will be employed by MFI to fight terrorists..."
Now come to think of it, I did see a few shifty looking people in my local store. Perhaps that's why MFI went bust.

Excellent Ebay ad, thanks for the linky Tyke.
