Franken rolex, ebay au.

I think this started out as 2 different watches. Reminded me of a tv pic in pic.

The seller has a variety of these monstrosities... I think he makes them himself. He claims the rolex parts are genuine, but he doesn't try to pass the watches off as such. I can't verify the authenticity of the parts... but if they are real then there is no scam. Just very bad taste.

He is recycling old Rolex cocktail watches and incorporating them into new cases.

Its awful, and could be reported, as its not a Rolex.
But if idiots want to buy "franken" pieces, its their problem

Whatever you can say at least he is accurate and truthful in his descriptions,warning and instructions. As someone once told me
de gustibus non est disputandum...in matters of taste there is no dispute or there is no accounting for taste. As for me feh!!

that is funny on soooooooo many different levels.... i honestly cannot take it seriously, if someone showed me that i would think they were joking or taking the piss.

Hats off to him for actually spending the time putting it together and having the balls to think someone would actually think it looks good enough to buy lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought at first viewing it was a very bad photoshopped joke.
