    I’m sure a cape cod would work wonders on that

    Not sure if that will polish out.

    So, 33 bids and it currently stands at £200. Can anyone more knowledgeable tell me what parts in that are potentially worth £200 to someone? Everything external looks mangled beyond salvage. The bracelet links all look heavily scratched and dented. I'm guessing that is quartz? Is there enough air gap between case and movement to risk £200 on it being useable?

    Don't get it!

    Looks like it was left in the sun.

    I'm thinking a fake someone has taken a lump hammer to?

    That's what I was thinking; is the wearer still with us?!

    The same seller’s Superocean doesn’t appear to be in much better condition … https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174826677...cAAOSwZ9tg4bO3

    Looks like the mid size (36mm) quartz model to me. The only bits that look ok are 2 of the 3 hands and the crown. Some of the bracelet links too maybe. £200 seems rich.

    And who the hell is bidding on them! I can't imagine the repairs+auction price for these working out cheaper than buying one in a better condition.

    Death by steamroller, and sell the watch for parts. A novel business plan, I'll give you that ...

    An insurance disposal maybe, otherwise I hate to think.

    I like the comment on the Breitling - there is a scuff on the crystal

    Wonder if they're being bought by people intending to make fraudulent insurance claims?

    There’s something dodgy going on, but I don’t understand it. There’s 30 bids on it so there must be multiple people with the same plan whatever it is.

    Even with a bogus insurance claim how on earth would you say what happened to it?

    It's going to take more than the little details box can take

    It's hazard a guess that it's been run over while laying on its side judging the marks and the twisting force.

    Condition: Used

    Should be "pre-loved".
