Rather worryingly word has reached me of what can only be described as an unsavory incident with a snorkel, I shall be having words on Aqua’s return.

Filling in this week we have the rather nice red Omega box that Bienne use to return restored watches to the owner.

So…..Whats in the rather nice red box that Omega Bienne use to return restored watches to the owner?

Can you guess?

If a picture is worth a thousand words try and put a value on this….

If found gulity I think the judge should sentence according to watch brand:

10 years for the Rolex, 5 for the Breguet, 2 for the Breitling with 15 years off for the Omega [classed as good behaviour :)].

Woolsey allegedly stole $836,744.58 from the parish by funneling at least $820,800 from parish accounts into his personal bank accounts, including $47,000 in funds bequeathed to the parish. In addition, Woolsey also allegedly used the parish’s checking account to pay for $15,944.58 worth of personal charges to his credit card.

The investigation revealed that the defendant used stolen funds in a variety of ways, including the purchase of fancy watches (Rolex, Breitling, Omega, and Breguet)

I don’t recall the 70’s being this good!

This new old stock example came direct from Switzerland and has never been worn.

As they say, keep them long enough and they will come back in fashion, maybe Wrist Fashion will like this one.

Enjoy.

Its not the fact that the listing has no pictures……. nor is the fact that there are almost no details about the watch……. nor is it the fact he “dont have the watch on me at the moment”……. nor is it the fact that he will arrange for local pickup only [can’t even post a watch!]……. nor is it the fact that he says NO refunds (negotiable).

Its the fact that there are 7 bids on it that I find most bizarre!

Used but in good condition

ONLY BID IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED

Mario Peserico is worried. The sales director of Eberhard, a small Swiss watchmaker, is wondering who will provide his company with vital mechanical components that constitute the basis of the company’s products.

“We have a problem here,” he says.
Behind Peserico’s concern is a decision by Swatch, the world’s largest watch producer, to stop supplying to other watchmakers in Switzerland with key components — part of a watch’s “movement” — without which mechanical watches cannot function.

And then the interesting part…

Although kits of parts sold by Swatch to others are thought to be worth only about $3 million a year, the companies that buy the parts use them for making watches worth hundreds of times more than this sum.

Sounds like the gravy train the lesser watchmakers have been riding is about to be derailed.
