vintage Audemars Piguet replica watches, or cult classics

If you're a fan of esoteric dive watches, vintage Audemars Piguet replica watches, or cult classics from the 1970s, you know the Omega Big Blue (if you're not / don't, click here for a history).The Big Blue was enormous for the 1970s at 44mm, and it's absolutely loaded with features; it's a 120m diver, with a chronograph, date window, and even GMT hand.These things are hard to come by in any condition, and the one linked to above ended up selling for close to $6000.Today, however, we came across a completely untouched Big Blue Omega with its original stickers, hang tags, and boxes - and can you guess where we found it? Yup, eBay.

You simply do not find these watches in this Mont Blanc replica watches condition, and as it stands right now, with 6 days left in the auction, you very likely could get a pretty good deal on this.It currently sits at just over $3,350 (it began at $1 just yesterday).Click here for the details of this original 1970s Omega Seamster "Big Blue" in NOS condition.

On a number of occasions we at the ‘Dink have proven the affinity that certain authoritarian Middle Eastern leaders have toward fine Swiss timepieces.In particular, Saddam Hussein seems to have enjoyed giving out fine Vacheron Constantin replica watches timepieces, often with quartz movements.Continuing in that trend, currently on Antiquorum's DirectBid is an interesting Universal Geneve ladies watch with the Iraqi Coat of Arms used between 1965 and 1991 on the dial by 9 o’clock.Additionally, “Saddam Hussein” is printed in gold Arabic characters by 3 o’clock.The dial is an iridescent gray and the watch features a quartz movement.
