Yeah, that's a kick in the golf ball bag...a million dollar watch with the wrong bracelet. Maybe they are hoping the guy who buys it won't notice.
If I had a million bucks to blow...I would buy one of the Bulova 214 Accutrons that Citizen reissued not long after they bought Bulova...and a red Dodge HEMI Challenger. The rest would be invested in a few acres of land.
NOT a Fronkensteen Con-0-Groff.
Igor: Dr. Frankenstein...
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "Fronkensteen."
Igor: "You're putting me on."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, it's pronounced "Fronkensteen."
Igor: "Do you also say "Froaderick"?
Dr. Frederick Fankenstein: "No..."Frederick."
Igor: Well, why isn't it "Froaderick Fronkensteen"?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "It isn't; it's "Frederick Fronkensteen."
Igor: "I see."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "You must be Igor."
[He pronounces it ee-gor]
Igor: "No, it's pronounced "eye-gor."
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: "But they told me it was "ee-gor."
Igor: "Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?"
From 'Young Frankenstein' 1974.
