Thrift store score!

[damian1013]

So the local thrift store has a basket full of watches mostly walmart junk but found this today for $5. Its a Ebel 1911 in excellent shape and looks like it needs just a battery. Also picked up a rare 1994 Swatch Olympic edition for the same price. Soon as i get these ticking again I'm going to see what offers I get for them. They had no clue and plan on checking weekly for other watches.

Whoa, that's an expensive watch -- nice find!

I found a Casio Pathfinder about a month ago in the same basket and thats a $200 watch. I check this basket every week and will probably get this one recertified by Ebel. This model looks to be going for around 1-2k and its like new...just needs a battery.

1-2k wow... that is sweet...
...do you gift a thousand dollar watch to someone who is never late or to someone you wish was never late?
