My exceptionally stupid husband bought it by phone bidding from Fellows&Sons auction. It came smaller than he thought and non-working. He paid £80 plus auction indemnity. 

Take it for scrap. Any price will do. As education does not come for free

 

 

:D Priceless

Excellent! They're actually very nice watches - and they do make a larger version - but nobody pays £80 for a dead one! That's about what you pay for a working one. The pointer hand has actually snapped from the main disc on the face of the watch. Here's mine for comparison...

Oooh! She must be a happy wife  :D

So what do you think he received from her - frying pan, rolling pin or bread knife? Hell hath no fury etc. etc.

Probably a BUTA!

It never ceases to amaze me some of the crap that is sold on eBay. Why some pay £50 for a non working French clock with the pendulum missing, cracked dial & rusted hands but somehow they get sold.

I have put on Ebay fully working ,serviced & re-gilded French clocks and got less.

Needless to say unless I can pick one up really cheap at my local auction house I don,t bother any more .

That,s the look spot on. Had a few of them just lately, putting my foot through the ceiling a couple of weeks ago was a classic.

Believe it or not we are still on speaking terms :D

The look that requires no words, and only a female can give.

Just make sure the doghouse is well stocked.

I always keep the beer and the spare watchmaker's tools there! :)

Poor sod, I bet he'll be to scared to buy another watch as long as he lives! We've all made mistakes & £80 ain't going to break the bank, imagine if it had been £800 could you imagine the wording in the listing then!

[bobm12]

...or the look! :)

[Irishcain]

And now he's going to have to buy her something more expensive and sparkling to make it up to her, lol

[Vich]

That is excellent

 

Cheers,
