Still, I reckon it is worth a lot more than 99c, but a hell of a lot less than th $3800 seller claims its worth.
I'm with you, gutterpunkz.
I didn't do any research at all about watches & know nothing about calibrations or when Moinija came into being (or didn't, till I saw your post) but a price starting at 99c doesn't scream 'rare and authentic' anything to me. But now we know for sure-definite fake.
If it sold though for a low price & it it works properly for a year or two, then it might be okay as a novelty watch. I've known people to pick up cheap watches at the local market that have cost only about $10 but kept good time for years.
All the same, it is deceptive advertising & i don't like that with any seller, ebay or elsewhere.
As for Nazi memorabilia, I don't have a problem with rare historical things from the war era being on display in museums or up for sale. For example, I would find it interesting to look at an actual Nazi uniform etc in a museum, I've read a couple of Hitler's translated speeches (boring) and don't think the word Nazi itself should mean anything is banned. Not if we were talking genuine articles or real historic significance.
Which this watch obviously isn't.
