Our oldest daughter's husband is and Air Force veteran. He was deployed at one time to a base in Turkey (Türkiye). When he returned home he gave me this watch. I wasn't familiar with the brand so I Googled it. When I saw the price I knew there was no way on earth that it was the real thing. Probably a Chinese knock-off. The price for a real one approximately $7,000.00 (£5,026).
@skipt07 ... and I saw the Turkish army marching around in Ankara when I went there to give a talk at a university. Omegas are very nice watches and they last forever. And ever.
@jyokota@jaybutterfield@aikiuser@gardencat - I guess I didn't mention that it doesn't work. It's an automatic watch and either the winding mechanism doesn't work or I don't move enough for it to keep proper time. So it sits in a box.
Oh, I was thrilled when I saw the watch. I felt bad that he got taken.
You missed my point. There are a lot of scammers in the world trying to sell you something or just trying to take your money. The old saying, "If it sounds too good to be true it probably is" rings truer every day.
