    The description makes no mention that the hands are wrong / changed, I would have thought the seller would mention that.

    Just saw those hands. I think this may be one for the Walter Mitty Hunters Club, imo.

    Why plaster your identity all over ebay and compromise the other two aircrew members.

    Would also ask why its not got a correct issue strap either, rather than a used aftermarket offering?

    Not that I’m in the market for it, but is the received opinion that this one is a dud?

    The watch is a Gen 2 all be it with incorrect hands and a NATO strap that does not conform to the MOD specification, so not original to the watch nor obtained from stores as a replacement.
    The fact he as posted pictures of 'himself' and other crewmen is a strange one, (its not the done thing) as is the picture of him casually lifting the cuff of the flight suit to show the watch.
    It all smells a bit fishy to me.

    Shouldn’t it be handed back into stores?

    I wouldn’t buy it,this will only appeal to a certain sort.

    I like military watches,not this sort particularly with the way he’s pushing his service.

    You are a collector that’s different,I expect this to appeal more to those looking for reflected glory,I could be wrong.

    Just noticed it now has original hands but in poor condition.

    Very odd add indeed.

    [QUOTE=hopak;4701100]If you ever wanted a watch with provenance then this might be it ...


    Not bad!

    And I want to ask you, folks, hope you don't mind,

    Does anyone know if there are any online casino slot machine tournaments planned for over a million dollars and upcoming tournaments?

    Although I participated and played in the Grand Slam of Slots tournament that Microgaming was offering, I was unfortunately not a big winner frown.gif and would like the opportunity to play in another tournament like this one.

    So far I haven't heard anything about myself or any of the feeds that are out there. If anyone wants to suggest another tournament of this size, I'd have to say it would be Microgames. Also recently I stumbled upon these casino bonus codes, just here - https://casinobonus-ca.com/bonus-codes/, and so would like your opinion on all this. Any answer is very important to me.
