The first one looks good , I’ll look at some values and you look at some and we can meet in the middle if you would consider rehoming it . I’ve been drinking excessively this evening so I’ll DM you tomorrow.

I was offered an Omega very similar to that one and a Rolex president same vintage . I didn’t buy it on the spot and his family told him he should hang on . I should run to an ATM , the offer was exceptional

A '60s President would be very very cool.

the ask was $800 for the rolex and $600 for the Omega . I have no idea why I hesitated . Both would have tripled or better in the last 5 yrs .

Holy ctap. I don’t have the spare coin for watches but I would’ve found a way to scramble that deal together.

$50 Timex... It's a watch.
'Wore it every working day for most my entire 35.5 years in corrections...
It's been in hundreds of fights, been covered in pepper spray and been banged around like a $10 whore... It's scratched up and worn, 'been through gawd only knows how many wrist bands, but... I still wear it.

That's a nice legible watch. I prefer Type B pilot watches and that is similar to a type A but that is a minor niggle.

Polywatch could probably clean up the crystal. It will cost 50% of what you paid for watch though.

Same for me, but my window hasn't changed.
Timex has some amazing divers, with every feature you desire, at incredibly low prices.
