Five bob watch

'Copyright' is a word we make endless jokes about out here. You would have to search extremely hard to find a legit dvd, Rolex or Windows program - and most things in-between.

So, when Susie went looking for a new watch with numerals large enough to not require glasses to tell the time, this little copied right Gucci caught her eye. She came home very pleased with herself - another shop wanted $18 for the same little timepiece.

For $5, she did pretty well. Two out of the three hands worked very efficiently. It was just a matter of making the right guess of what the hour was ...

Sue's $5 watch - plus an extra $ for a real leather strap. The friendly seller pulled out the guts, swapped them with another watch and now we have a copied right working timepiece!
