Wristwatches anyone: - Toyota Yaris Forums

My wife was nagging me the other day, saying I have too many.
I finally got an automatic, and she is probably right.

So I have a few that I am willing to sell, some more rare than others.

First up is an older fossil, I think it was called the globe or something, huge crystal globe face. This one has sat unused for years, needs a new battery. The face has a countdown of the seconds, really unique. 50.00

Second is another fossil, purchased by my wife for me on a birthday. The 12 o'clock has a small diamond. Otherwise nothing overwhelmingly fancy. 75.00

Third is a Android. Rare not in production anymore. This watch is thin, and looks amazing. If your against the purple think again, I got many compliments from this watch. More recently replaced battery. 125.00

Lastly is my old running watch. This thing does just about everything you can imagine. Chrono up to 50 laps, timer, stop, world time, alarm, etc... It is an Adidas watch that was gifted to me for my birthday by a friend who traveled to Europe for the summer. You can not get this watch in America, at least thats what she said... 100.00

Thanks for looking, all watches are babied, since well I have so many, not one gets too much wear over the other. They are all in perfect working order, well except the first which will require a new battery. All prices include the shipment of the watch to your door.

I might get back to you on some of these, they are very nice and the price is right!

I have a Breitling Colt and An Omega Seamaster Bond watch.
Watch collecting is an addictive and expensive hobby!

My most rare and prized watch is one passed down to me from my dad from his dad from his dad. It is a 1890 hand wound pocket watch. It's 14 k gold and worth nearly 3k. Hope it will be in the family for generations to come.

Anyways, lets see if I can't get the collection to dwindle a bit...

auxmike · 10-22-2009, 11:18 PM

Don't sell the pocketwatch!
My Uncle has my Grandad's gold pocketwatch, not me.

About 25 years ago, my Dad bought home a beautiful Rossi .22 pump action gallery gun with an octagon barrel and gave it to ME! I traded it away a few years ago, but recently got it back in another trade! NEVER getting rid of it.
I'll sell my socks first.....

thewifesyaris · 10-23-2009, 10:54 AM

Never said I was, I expect my dad to kill me if I did, and probably my mom, and wife, and myself. ;)

Just had a few listed above that I don't mind seeing go...

Bump for the morning, what do you say detroiter?

detroiter · 10-23-2009, 11:37 AM

I'm really thinking about that Android, it looks really classy but simple as well. Since you have it in person, is it a watch you can wear everyday with just about anything casual or dressy? Or is it more along the lines of dress only? Also, I have pretty thin wrists, is there a way to adjust the size of it at all? Thanks in advance

AzNguy · 10-23-2009, 11:44 AM

How old is the second fossil watch with the diamond? Also, does it have any scratches or markings on the glass which covers the watch?

thewifesyaris · 10-23-2009, 04:40 PM

Detroiter - Yes you can adjust the size by removing links, but can not add. My wrists are small and it fits very well. I wore it at nice events and such, but when I wore it during normal outings I got the most comments.

AzNguy - That fossil is about a year old, worn about three to four times. No scratches on the face, extremely minor scratch on the metal band, highly unnoticeable unless you were looking for it.

AzNguy · 10-23-2009, 04:50 PM

Ok, put a hold on that watch as long as you can for me please. I'm trying to sell a head unit first. :)

ezhacker1 · 10-23-2009, 06:46 PM

those some nice watches. not to thread jack but anyone seen those geeky binary watches? http://www.getprice.com.au/images/up...ne_white_l.jpg Pretty cool, in a nerdy way.
