WTF?

Dear User:

Unfortunately, access to this particular category or item has been blocked due to legal restrictions in your home country. Based on our discussions with concerned government agencies and eBay community members, we have taken these steps to reduce the chance of inappropriate items being displayed. Regrettably, in some cases this policy may prevent users from accessing items that do not violate the law. At this time, we are working on less restrictive alternatives. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause you, and we hope you may find other items of interest on eBay.

Thank You.

is that watch assosiated with any guns or nazi stuff? because that kind of stuff usualy gets blocked in germany!

i cant access the auction at all!

did you try directly from ebay and typing in the name? its just a watch.....

Maybe because its a watch from WWII and that term is blocked in germany??

from the auction:

I was told this is a very High End, Very Expense, Beautiful Rare watch. This Model is the King of the PANERAI RADIOMIR WATCHES. From WW II made for the Italian Navy

Listed in category: Jewelry & Watches > Watches > Wristwatches

Also listed in: Collectibles > Militaria > WW II (1939-45) > Italy

maybe that's the reason.

for all those for whom it doesnt work:

type in "about:config" and press enter (firefox) change the string "intl.accept_languages" to "en-us, en" (i changed it from "de-de, de, en-us, en" to that) and it will work just fine! all of a sudden you can buy all that nazi stuff :)

a newbie bidded on it 3 times in a row.....something fishy....

The newb didn't bid, his bid was pushed up by someone with a lower max bid.

Crazy how it got to 15K without a pic of the movement. Maybe someone should pick up a WM special, beat it up, crack the crystal and see what happens once the bidding starts.

I was told that there is something odd about this auction.

I was told to beware of people insisting on WU, certified check or bank transfer payments.

I was told that the strap looks 'artfully' aged.

I was told that the seller's other auctions involved more or less worthless bric-a-brac.

I was told that the seller seems in no way a watch specialist.

I was told that the line "I would like everyone in the world a chance to win this watch in this auction" sounds surprisingly like a paraphrase of the pimp's monologue in Martin Scorcese's 'Taxi Driver.'

Finally, I was told that the passive form 'I was told' is a watered-down, wimped-out way of saying, 'Somebody told me.' The 'somebody' could be JetMid or the seller's dog...

It's also a handy phrase in the event that the watch turns out to be other than genuine, as in, 'Well, I was told that it was a genuine item!'

Want to know more? Sorry. As the seller says, 'I have no other information on this.'

Good luck bidding!

edit/update: if someone had the time and patience, it would be interesting to try and get the seller to agree to open the back to see (i.e., photograph) what's really in there. Given the price and lack of any objective info 'I was told' that any reputable seller would agree to do this.

As a matter of fact, does anyone know how to ask the seller this type of question and have it appear on the bottom of the page (rather than having it sent directly as a PM or an email?)

OMG...

it is 21000$...

hope the bidder gets what he will pay!

AND reserve is not yet met! :Jumpy::Jumpy:

The hands look very new, but the dial looks a very nice vintage. For that price, I'd be flying over there with my bodyguard watchmaker to verify its authenticity for sure :whistling:
