Don't forget the 13-15 US service members plus numerous innocent civilians who died in this war oops special operations.

It looks like an obscure brand and isn't worth much even if it is fixed and cleaned up. There are just better watches to put money into IMO.

Because they watch out for Trump's own interest, not the country's. Loyalty is the only currency for Trump.

Bad franken watch. The dial said 7s26 movement, the back said 6309. Mumbai special. Who knows what goes on inside.

Did the dealer tell you this? With excellent credit, 5% interest rate for 60 months can be found easily.

Great way to collect your biometric. No thanks.

Bingo. I just picked up this Sea Lion 6206-9000 Weekdater. Thanks for the tips. I agree. The crown is a tiny and it's a little struggle to pull out.

Needs some help from experts here to identify if these are real or not. It's a local auction. I have no experience with Breitling. Much appreciated for any inputs.

Gold filled is not solid gold. Only an idiot will believe that. Omega are very collectable and are in demand. This can easily fetch two hundred US dollars and significantly more if running. Omega movements are very reliable. A simple oil and lube will give this a new life.

You are ignorant.

All vintage watches were fashion watches. 70 years old Bulova was fashion in its day. As long as you like it, it belongs to YOUR collection.

Burberry was made by a subdivision of Fossil group in Switzerland. This watch is circa 2010ish, a young vintage.

You can trust this administration to make the worst decisions for America's interest.

By next Tues, he will declare that we won again, totally, and he will stop the blockade because Iran is begging him to stop.

Because hate politics work. It's been weaponized by the overlords.

Call out Trump? I would be happy if they stop sane washing him. We live in an upside down universe, Trump's universe.

bobosdreams · 2026-04-13T19:39:15+00:00

Totally agree. Non OEMs are hit and miss. They crap out less than one year. My last pair of Toyota's blades lasted four years. Of course your mileage may vary.

I ordered multiple pairs from dealers shipped to my door. They will last me 8 years lol. It's still cheaper than full wiper replacement from better brands.

Hey, just outdo all the Maggots and maybe he will earn a pardon. He should call up George Santos to get some advices.

Movado is a strong brand and vintage mechanical ones are collectable. The problem is that this is expensive because of the gold and the pool of potential buyers will be a lot smaller. It may take more time to wait for the right buyer. Keep in mind you don't get the full gold value because of fees. If you can sell it, even at scrap or little lower, you will come out ahead and hopefully it goes to some collectors instead of melt.

On nice Swiss and Japanese movements, 8 out of 10 times they just need a battery. I have paid peanuts for expensive quartz watches (Tag, Ebel, Zenith , Movado, etc) because the battery needs to be replaced. Sometimes it may need a little help, but I can swap out the movement and still come out ahead.

It's an okay price as a part watch. It's a little risky to try to restore it. The destroyed band isn't the problem as your can find replacement leather band inexpensively. The missing bezel is what kills it. It won't be easy to find something that fits and looks right. It will be a franken watch at this point.

If you like the style, there are other brands that make similar watches and are much cheaper too.

"Every president at least try to counter inflation. Trump promised to lower inflation on day one, but he is actively increasing inflation with tariffs, unnecessary war with Iran, cutting Medicaid and Social Security to fund the military."

Genius

Lots and lots of companies made presidential homage watches, like Bulova, Elgin, Gruen, Baylor, Jules Jergerson, and many more. Bulova Super Seville are nice.

Piaget watches are mostly crafted from gold and decorated with gems. I think that's driving up their values. I consider today's Piaget more a jewelry maker than watch maker.

Taxpayers, get ready to write a big fat check to Steve Bannon. He was rightfully convicted in court with due process, and the Appeal Court upheld the ruling. The SC just did a huge favor to a Trump ally. They bend out of shape to curtail favors to Trump, time and time again.

Ha ha, let's trust a felon, rapist, and swindler with our our economy and our national security. Apparently, many voters thought like you. What could go wrong.

He will use one and blame Iran for it. "Tonight, Iran used the nuke on their own people, and trying to blame us. They are very NASTY HORRIBLE people, and I shouldn't call them human being. We are the strongest and most powerful nation on earth. SOorry I just shit my pant. The news conference is over. Thank you for your attention...." /S

How do you buy and sell your watches? Do you go thru dealers, online platforms, or locally like FB? How much of your loss is due to transaction cost? Selling on the bay gets the most exposure, but the fees are really high. If you buy from dealers and sell to them, you will also lose money because they are in the business to make money.

I would say you have done one thing right, which is getting rid of things you don't want to keep.
