Poverty watches

[okcBob]

Okay, gotta ask, what is a "poverty watch?" Sub $150 pricing only? Some of these were higher end, especially the Lucien Piccard, Seiko's and Citizens when they were originally sold. In My mind the Casio Diver probably Qualifies. I have a Sector, it was over $700 new back in 1995, now if running only commands about $100 on ebay.

As the Immortal George Hamilton stated in his classic "Zorro: The Gay Blade" "People, it's not a sin to be poor, only poorly dressed..."

I posted the Lucian Piccard in the poverty thread because you can get them pretty cheap these days on ebay

$29.32 .... Little fast but good enough . Will work on the crystal a little and take it apart to inspect and replace seals... maybe a little oil . May try to adjust the time some . Definitely grease the keyless works.

From TEMU

I never knew you could get these things for anything under $100.

There are some nice options that are affordable out there

I’ll post this here cause I found it in a basket of junk that I have looked at in years. I mean 20 or more years. Probably quit wearing it about the time we all started carrying phones. Don’t remember when I bought it. Has the original Sharp labeled band that is perfectly formed to my wrist

Was in WM yesterday looking for a wallet clip. Saw their watches and all $10.88, a battery costs $5. Some looked like they should cost more.

If you like the diver look, these are on eBay

My first watch...got it from my Grandfather and wore it throughout Junior High...who would have thought that now it would be considered a Right Wing Extremist watch since its "Patriotic"
