Bi-Directional rotating bezel and he had the white button on the top replaced with Gold. This one should last forever! PLEASE DO NOT BID IF THIS BOTHERS YOU.
Well, that's the least of my worries...This listing should be revised or pulled. n:

That last picture looks like a ball bearing was shot into the bezel.

You can almost make out something on the bearing itself, like someone's reflection.

I have some photo tools here. Let me see if I can enhance it.

Yes, it's coming into focus...





Oh my, it must be Groucho's sub!! It's gotta be worth a fortune!!!

the "pearl" that he claims is gold actually looks like a blob of lead solder. I would bet money on it that's what it is.
