Here's the story, I have this watch I bought on eBay about 5 years ago. I saw the auction it was $100 minimum bid....so I figured I would wait and bid in the last couple minutes and bid $100, I missed the end of the auction...so I emailed a few hours later and offered $100 since nobody bid. The seller (Hess Fine Art in FL), told me no and put it back up for a no reserve auction....so I won it for $42!! It's a LE (#77/100) Beemer.....blue MOP face, sapphire crystal, swiss chrono and it also said '22 Jewels' on the back. I had trouble believing it was a 22 Jeweled quartz. So I figured when the battery went dead I would open it up and see what the heck was in there. Anyway it does have a 22 Jewel quartz! An ETA 251.272, the movement is $80-$90 by itself....I never seen a quartz with this many jewels so I snapped a few shots:

Very cool. Yes, there are some very high jewel Eta quartzies out there like that one and the 252.261.

Hess Fine Art has shot themselves in the foot on more than one occasion with responses like the one you got.

This is pretty AMAZING Gary !!! 22 Jewel quartz?  Icon_cheers Don't think I have seen a quartz watch
with this many jewels either. I mean there are automatic movements with
less jewels ! It's VERY impressive ! Then on top of that, it looks like it's very
limited, AND you evidently got it for a REAL nice price ! 22 Jewel quartz?  803574 It's neat seeing
the inner workings of this one. The outside of the watch is terrific also imho.
A super cool case, with a smooth look all the way to the bracelet. What a
dial there as well !!!..GREAT story, watch, and pictures sir !..Thank you !!!
