So something is telling me this may not be 100% genuine - (heavily sarcastic voice) https://www.ebay.com/itm/386132585938?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=scth-jkes6g&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=WLDexrgWSNe&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I was wandering around ebay (you never know what you can find) and I spotted a few pocket watches. While I fully admit not being anywhere remotely close to having any expertise in pocket watches, I thought some of the pocket watch experts here would get a chuckle. I found this one, apparently an Omega: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-WWI-Imperial-Russian-officers-award-Omega-pocket-watch-NO-RESERVE-RARE/302504949895?hash=item466eb33887:g:Mg0AAOSwEOpZ9OwF This one a Lange & Sohne: https://www.ebay.com/itm/German-General-award-A-LANGE-SOHNE-A1-GRADE-CHRONOMETER-silver-enamel-watch/322111062708?_trkparms=aid%3D888007%26algo%3DDISC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D48736%26meid%3Dc2edbb2340cf4c76b8ce5137abeca126%26pid%3D100009%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D2%26sd%3D322736087928&_trksid=p2047675.c100009.m1982 A "one of a kind" Patek, only 99,000 US https://www.ebay.com/itm/WOW-The-earliest-known-Patek-Philippe-Perpetual-Calendar-Moon-Phase-watch-c1866-/302506227233 a "ONE OF A KIND WWI Imperial Russian Submarine Captain's Chronograph award watch" https://www.ebay.com/itm/ONE-OF-A-KIND-WWI-Imperial-Russian-Submarine-Captains-Chronograph-award-watch-/322836262374 But my personal favorite is this one: The ad states : Important Historical WWI German Officer's Iron Cross award silvered pocket watch the seller wants ...harumpf... 5,775 US dollars for it. There's a just a teeny tiny problem with the description and watch... just a little one....well maybe more than one, but this one is a problem. The picture on the watch is quite famous, it appears in Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Bulge#/media/File:German_soldier_Ardennes_1944.jpeg it's from the Ardennes Offensive aka the Battle of the Bulge which occurred in .... 1944 well after World War 1
