Title: Guaranteed Authentic Astrographic
Post by: Butch on February 19, 2010, 06:34:48 PM
Take a look at auction: 250583908757

Somebody please tell me how this is "original" or "authentic"? I must be getting old. I wish we could get eBay to let us post comments on auctions the way that you can do on articles you read on some news sites. And don't you know that some damn fool will buy this?

 :'( ???gee--i thought the hands were on rotating discs on this model ! ? i guess HE thinks it is original. lets watch and see how much it sells for--i guess $200. i suppose to some one who doesnt know what it looked like original it doesnt look too bad. nice stainless case,most i have looked at were beat up gold plate which i refuse to even consider-they look too bad and there is nothing you can do to make em look presentable. just my opinion. ;) ;)  JON P

Holy CRAP! You are RIGHT Jon! When I first looked at the pics I did not get past the HANDS on the Astrographic and the crystal having been installed 90 degrees off center.  But you are correct, the A's were done as R's in the redial. HAHAHAHA!    ???
