Considering the shared "imperfections" both inside & outside the case, it appears to be the same franken watch.

Solid endlinks??? For this kind of money you’d think it would come with a nice band.

"Considering the shared "imperfections" both inside & outside the case, it appears to be the same franken watch."

 

Yep, the case looks the same.   The part about swapped movements is a head scratcher though.

 

"Solid endlinks??? For this kind of money you’d think it would come with a nice band."

 

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.
