Cat's and Dogs Living in Sin!!!

Albert Zibell just sent me a link to this interesting item that's appeared on the web...

From the seller's copy:

OMEGA , TAG/HEUER , CHRONOGRAPH . ALL REAL

A MOST UNUSUAL WATCH...THE CASE WHICH IS STAINLESS AND GOLD BEZEL (SOLID GOLD) CROWN ETC IS ALL "OMEGA" SEAMASTER AND GORGEOUS....THE MOVEMENT IS ALL TAG/HEUER 40 JEWEL AND WORKS GREAT...HOW THIS ALL GOT TOGETHER, I HAVE NO IDEA .ÊÊ WATCH FUNCTIONS ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD, MOVEMENT TENDS TO RUN A BIT FAST AND COULD USE A CLEANING.Ê LEATHER STRAP IS NO NAME STRAP BUT ALL BLACK WITH GOLD ACCENTS.ÊÊ A VERY UNUSUAL WATCH TO BE SURE......SHIPPING OUTSIDE USA MUST BE RECALCULATED......Any questions? Please email prior to bidding.

So what we have here, is a LWO 283 Lemania/ETA 2892-A2 piggyback movement (generally considered to be a superior chrono module to the Dubois-Depraz) mated, somehow, into a Speedmaster Reduced case!

Incredible! If it weren't two tone, I'd probably consider making a play for it. In fact I might still even though it is two tone, it is just that wild!
