Just had a call from my mum saying she's managed to sell that god awful watch I didn't want.

Then she started asking me about international shipping, as the guy wants it sent to Nigeria. Dammit, its always too good to be true.

I have to admit, I've looked at the emails and the level of English is fairly good. At least he doesn't pretend to be some upstanding figure like the Ayatollah's son and third inline to the throne of Togo.

Flipped off a reply saying it will only be sent within the UK via tracked and insured courrier only - will see where it takes us.

My mum bought it in tragic error, I wouldn't even dream of buying such a thing.

Its materials or function is no better than watches retailing at a fraction of that RRP, infact, its less accurate than a £8 casio (such is the "Swiss way" ) .

Now a £1K telly, I could live with that kind of needless expense - it serves a purpose, and its notably better in function to a £500 TV.

LOL there have been many watch threads on here and such a sensible view tends to draw massive flames!
