Title: Sea Wolf?

Auction 170437781024

Did you guys see this? I know this seller and have actually bought a Rado from him, so this discussion is on the watch, not the seller.

How do I hate thee? Let me count the ways...
   Awful bezel
   Sparkles on the triangles???
   Dial is shot
   Lum is gone from the hands
   Back is ruined. (Imagine the sweat on that guy!)
   The movement is actually from a pre-SST Day/Date model and not for the SW

And... IMHO, the parts in this watch was not worth the $51 it sold for, unless the guy needed the movement for his OTHER Day/Date Zodiac.

What a woofer.

 :o i looked at this one--about the worst excuse for a "watch" of ANY kind i have ever seen. if the owners sweat did THAT to the bezel and back i would not want to even shake hands with the acid man! my skin WILL do this to base metal watches--i just slowly eat them away! not with stainless though. i really thought the bling in the hour markers was tacky but it went right along with the crappy dial. i can just imagine the new owner showing this to his pals down at the corner hangout.
