My "Wow" was not implying "Wow...that's cool", or "Wow...that's a good deal".

I gathered as much by looking at the smiley you posted. Nevertheless, I found it interesting to have a look at their offerings. Impressive looking knock-offs.

Not saying it's a good thing, just that they look like the real deal, which is a bad thing.

My browser isn't translating very well but I'm guessing counterfeits based on pricing?

I’m guessing Dave was hired to photograph the watch and they let him keep it when he was done with it.

Guys, That's my watch I'm selling.

Bought it to see what it was all about. Don't knock it until you handle one. It is a surprisingly nicely built watch but the "Sinn" blasted finish just doesn't do it for me.

Sinn-like case with different dial and different hands. No different than Borealis, etc. Nothing to see here. Moving along.
