I guess the seller is more the kind of a reseller (pawn shop? camera
shop) who has taken in someone elses OM system. He is selling other
stuff (Leica too) and almost all of it got the nickname "BIKINI".
Maybe for an easy way of searching on eBay rather than marketing.
Anyway, I don't understand much of marketing, especially the American
way of it...
