Hey at least there's no 007 on the seconds hand :blackeye:
WTF?!?
Who did the engraving, such fine handwork! :x
That is one evil looking watch. I suppose the movement is worth buying though, if nothing else.
Watch tattoo! This could a new trend.
Could be a bargain if you can get a new case!
yeah i suspect thata lot of people are thinking the saem thing though right now
Looks like something a Gypsy fortune teller would be wearing.
That is unbelieveable! Whoever engraved it must have been using a screwdriver and brute force. Who on earth would buy in particular a Speedie, then do that to it? :shock:
Lack of fine motor skills + Dremel equals a bad combination.
This breaks my heart.
I would love to be a fly on the wall in Bienne if this ever made it's way there..... Then again perhaps the other option is to send it off to Purdey to be re-worked.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Vandalism :evil:

So sad. :evil:
:shock:Wot a mistake!
There's nothing like a bit of fine craftsmanship.
And that's nothing like a bit of fine craftsmanship.......
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
I wonder if he can engrave my Patek for me ? :drunken: :drunken:
Work looks to be carried out to the same standard - perhaps he works for Patek and just does this in his spare time - some of the best work I've seen :evil:
It's just a matter of time...
:lol:
Stevie Wonder?
Look like rockers tattoo - hand done - with a knife and a ball pen on their own fingers
br
If the owner wanted to throw money away, he succeeded. What a waste :hmph:
Not my cup of tea, but then again - if you want a unique, hand finished piece... :wink:
i Can'T See ThE SCReeN FoR thE teARS in MY EyEs. WHY, WHY, WHY?
OH MY EYES!!!
like sanding a guitar - it never works
That's what happens when you shake hands with the locals after a succesful moon landing
the lost watch ? 8)
Fantastic. People ARE strange.
That seems really unhealty...
I actually really like it.........NOT....! :evil:
I actually have a 'new' case, caseback and dial which would suit this. How much is that movement worth? I could pack this watch together with my bits off to STS for a rebuild. I know that STS have completed vintage SM300 Watchco kits for other folks do this would be a similar undertaking.
I agree but when all the bots have been put together and the service is included you might have well just bout another in the first place unless it goes stupidly cheap of course
Of course, this is no worse that those who attempt to re-brush a brushed finish with a scrubbie pad and round off all the sharp edges, or those who bead blast a watch that was originally polished...
You just do not care for the end result.
Apparently, the seller bought if off some bloke called 'Buzz' something, :drunken: years ago..................
I see that it sold for £826.23 and actually it was located just about an hour away from me. At half that price I would seriously have considered it, but IMO that's totally over the top for a movement that needs a complete service at least. Best of luck to the buyer - at least he won't have to worry about dinging it off a door frame.
BTW, I paid just £33.77 more for my unused 6 week old Speedy Pro on the 'Bay about 5 years ago.
Nice catch. Bought my 1999 one there [box/papers etc] for £620 :D a couple of years ago.
For me, theres now't wrong with ebay!
Even the scumbags in my locale would turn their noses up at that one. Surely?
What a damned shame.
I have had no bad experiences on ebay, despite buying a number of £750 - £1000 watches. Most cost about two-thirds of their regular value on a forum such as this.
Well, it does look like pure crap to be sure.
But I guess Linde Werdelin decided they liked it and are going to showcase a real "tattoo" Octopus watch.
The LW octopus tattoo doesnt look much better that this one either...
that really is something special for someone special :lol:
