    I read on a watch forum that was staged . They said it was worn because the sticker was worn looking and the band was dirty as heck. The guy said something about the box sticker too. I'm no expert, I just wear watches so I can't say anything but what I read .

    Love the worn look. I could never be a collector and just look at watches and not wear them. They all tell a story when well used .

    Good thinking. I have a couple cheapos for work and a few that were gifts or I inherited that probably cost more , but they are not 1000 dollar watches . I'd rather buy a decent used or a cheap new Timex or something like that.

    I wore out a few Timex Ironman watches at work but usually get 8-9 years out of them . They about tripled in price and size since I first bought one in '88.

    My last replaced watch was a timex.
    Lasted me 10 years. I replaced it with my now Citizen Eco Drive proDiver I got off Amazon last week for $86.00 Too good of a Deal to pass up. I also have a Invicta 45 mm Diver coming Saturday.
    Think I’m set for awhile.

    I like a watch with a basic plain face , nothing too hard to see. The old eyes dont focus like they used to.

    Same here. The less Doodads & Doohickies the better.

    Exactly. Clutters up the look I find.

    I have one that I don't wear often, from the '90s I think. I'll post a pic sometime.

    They're very cheap off the Bay. A few spins through a hot washer and some hand twisting softens them up a lot. The Citizen is approximately a 1988 model. Was my dad's. Very rough when he gave it to me. A few years back I had it overhauled...new face, hands, movement, and seals. Bezel is a transplant too.
