A Seiko of course. Fresh out of the used section of a Phila watch shop.

He wanted $40 to start with... :excited:

It kills me that Seiko offers day/date on a lot of their least expensive offerings. For me, it's useful as all get out. It's the closest thing to a flaw I can find on my MM. You can argue who really came up with the first automatic chronograph movement, but the Seiko 6139 had day/date,just because they could, I guess.

$20 for a decent watch in Ti? Hell, yes! Nice grab.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

She's all banged up for sure, bracelet sags about 45 degrees if you hold it.

I'm not a big fan of "character" on my watches, so I'll be taking the dremmel to it...

Nice steal at $20. Can't find much for that these days, not even a terrible strap. :thumbsup:

Congratulations! That's a lot of watch for $20. Some of those titanium-cased "dress" watches came with sapphire crystals.

Best wishes,
Myles

We should have a $20 watch challenge. Let's see the coolest, strangest, ugliest watches you can get for $20. You actually have to buy it and post a wrist shot.

How F'n cool is that?! I'll give you 22 bucks for it - 10% is a pretty good profit, no?

Thanks in advance, and please ship express.. :cheers:
