Great thing is i have so many now when I open the box its like I have found a whole new watch to wear! I know what you mean and I have probably 25-30% of the number you do. Yet I still have a hard time choosing.

Been on a roll this past two weeks on eBay Understatement of the century right there! You've been on a roll for as long as I can remember. Well done yet again, Ian! How many watches do you currently own? I lost count but know its a lot which is awesome!

Butter indeed popping my head up from what is turning out to be a weekend filled migraine,hope it ends soon! I did get something on Friday, I doubt any of you will like it but I do have a bit of Del-Boy in me ( a beloved character from a very successful British comedy show) and saw this NOS, NIB 1970's Swiss 17 jewel Geneve watch on ebay three weeks ago and was very surprised to win it for $30!

Sorry to hear about the migraines. A new watch always makes one fell better and I hope you feel better soon.

I have one very similar. This is the very first dress watch I bought on my own. I don't remember how much I paid for it but it must not have been very expensive.
I bought it from a mall in Austin, Tx. Foley's IIRC.
I honestly don't know how old this watch is now but I'd say several decades.
It still works but just needs a new battery. Last time it was worn was a couple of years ago by my son for his 8th-grade dance.
I just kept it just for the heck of it. ~v~

Might as well stick a new battery in it, and wear it! I bet it still works like a champ.
