The storage case should have been saved this display destroys your pitch….

I believe the diver I mentioned has a Miyota movement. Like I said the damn thing is near bulletproof. I have no beef with Miyota or Seiko movements. They offer a lot of bang for the buck

My bad! You’re right 40!

I never thought I could wear a watch this size. But it is my daily now, I was one of the first to get one!

we went to the pawn shop (we only have the one) today, with 10 he had picked out as the best of the lot. some back and forth, and they settled on $350 for the 10. they noted that they already had about 6-8 in the case for sale. pretty sure adding 200 more isn't going to fly much.

You need to rent a storage unit to store them, for at least ten years before you toss them out.

Kind of like rinsing off the kale in the sink before you toss it into the trash.

So you settled on $35 each for the 10 best of the lot. What would it take to buy the rest in one shot, including the box? You can pm me if you like.
