Wednesday is "Interesting eBay" day *LINK*


Hi Guys,

This is an Idea that I've had for a while.

I'm sure some/most of you spend as much time in eBay as I do. I see a lot of watches/auctions that I find "interesting".

"Interesting" - I'm gonna define like this.... I look at it & say/think something like "What the Flip" or laugh or cry.

Some of these are fakes ( good or bad ), some of these are rarities, some of them are just so overpriced it is unbelievable.

So, what I'd like to try/suggest is that we ACTIVLEY link to "interesting" eBay auctions. We don't have any sort of restricion policy on this here at Zowie, but lets make a feature of this every Wednesday.

I am very aware that this could lead to "misuse" where some posters may just use this to "promote" their own auctions. I'm afraid that I will have to pull these kinds of posts, but as long as the watch /auction is "interesting" in someway, I'll let it go.

What do you think ?

Here's an example....

This watch is marked on the dial with some kind of company logo. I reckon this is a "service award" watch, that was presented to some after X years service on apon retirement ( notice there are no engraving visible on the watch though ! ). I have a general brochure, featuring some examples of "Omega Special awards watches" which I'll add to my website oneday.

Does anyone know which company awarded the watch ? ( I don't )
