Hey,

I don't know if this is anyone's taste, and their are still 5 days left. But somebody could get lucky.

Cheers

You reckon it's a rep? I don't know a lot about that brand so have no idea. Funny, considering it's being sold by the police in Toronto!

Ok, so I can't be 100% certain, seeing as I don't know every Longines ever made. I'm pretty sure, however, that Longines has never made a watch in a cheapo, can't-possibly-be-mistaken-for-gold-except-by-a-blind-man, "gold tone" finish (which has started flaking off in several places). Granted they're nowhere near the top of the watch world food chain, but I'm sure they have rather more pride than that.

As for who's selling it - well, I guess there aren't any watch enthusiasts in the Canadian police then.

Interesting find though, if only because it really is extraordinarily repulsive.
