Poverty watches

[rjbrooks7]

I've always had good luck with them, in spite of bad reviews from some people.

Yours is a good looking watch too. Wouldn’t matter what name is on it, that watch is just sharp

Not having a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out of you fellas have finally got down to my price range in watches.

Never could afford one of them high dollar fancy Timex watches so I wore a beater $30.00 Armitron from Wally World for ten+ years till I retired and pretty much quit wearing a watch, it kept good time and I just had to replace batteries once in awhile.....still have it and as far as I know all it needs is a new battery put in it.

I did move up in quality a few years back and purchased a solid gold $140.00 Citizen dress watch that I wear now and then when I really want to impress folks.

$8.50 off of evilbay. Classic 70’s look and keeps decent time. I need to polish the crystal. Scraped it on the fireplace a couple weeks ago.

Walmart GShock for $56 is on my BDay list. Usually don't wear a watch. When I did it was a Seiko...have 2 Seikos.

Bought back in the age of dinosaurs (late1980's maybe {?}) - crystal replacement x2 - battery replacement x4+, band replacement x3 - now permanently resides attached to my backpack strap.

I posted this in the ‘which watch’ thread too. It’s here because I got this in an eBay auction along with the little Elgin I wore last week, a Seiko quartz and another quartz watch. Also came with most of a pocket watch movement and two cool vintage tins of watch parts. The whole auction was $32. Not sure how it slipped through the cracks but it did.

This one has a bit of a story. In 93 mom and dad rode the Goldwing up to Niagara Falls, across Canada and up in to Alaska. At some point dad looked down and his watch was gone. He always had day/date watches and this is probably the cheapest one he could get to get home. He can’t remember if he bought it in Canada or Alaska.

That's a cool story. My old man had one watch from the time I was 12 until he passed 11 years ago. I gave it to him and among the things he wanted to be buried with, the watch was one of them.
