Only $120.00 to ship in CONUS! And we complain about a measly $30.00 bux charge from China... :lol:
Oh Btw, you can return the watch for a FULL refund in 7 days...Shipping fee non-refundable! :lol:

Certainly this guy knows what he has, If it's real it's worth mega bucks to a gen collector.

He just updated his listing stating that he was going to try and post an old photo of the watch. Is there a chance that this watch could be real?

We could call Tourneau and see if they repaired it...this is getting fun. :D

cybee...

look at the crap photos. It says 1950 above the six, and the crown guard says REG. T.M. It is a rep fiddy.

If it was a true vintage Italian army watch it would say BREV. ITAL. on the crown guard.

Did anyone notice he took the watch one more block down to have it looked at again? The watch business must be booming! Tourneau has a store on 57th AND 58th. Incredible...I knew I should have bought some stock.
