    Unusual items you have received with a watch...

    I just bought a GS from somebody on WUS and received the package this morning. I was quite amused to find this fella sitting in the box with the watch!

    Not a watch and from eBay but a few dog ends amongst the packaging.

    I did receive a few chocolates with a watch on SC. Didn't notice until a few weeks later after I put the box in the garage

    Really?

    I've heard rumours of this, but just presumed it was a myth.

    I got this inside a Bulova watch box with inner and outer boxes, along with all original paperwork, including a Christmas tag with "To Willie from Mom + Walter" on it.
    The badge appears to date from the same time, early 1950's and the picture is a dinosaur in front of a fern tree, don't know what the figure on the left is!
    'Carnegie Institute, The Fine Art And Museum Society'.

    It roughly resembles Venus de Milo, but it certainly looks like a Classical statue to me - perhaps to symbolise the Carnegie art collection. A nice bit of novelty to receive for sure.

    I bought a coin-edge bezel for a Seiko Turtle from a well-known Seiko mods eBayer (forgot the name) and got a photo of a nice Shire-horse included.

    I bought a second hand Steinhart OVM years ago and the seller thoughtfully (mis)placed one of his pubic hairs under the watch cushion. I suppose it could have been a chest hair, but still … I was not impressed.
