Sorry, but nothing worthwhile here. 2 bucks isn't much but I still would have passed.... The only one that could have been interesting is the Quasar but it's in such bad condition it looks like Cuasar! Still only a 10-20 dollar watch in good condition.

Two bucks ain't bad and I ended up with a load of quartz watches like these as I've paid a few times an all or nothing price for bags of watches in thrift stores, just so I can have one watch out of the whole bag. I don't know what to do with all the ones that have piled up other then re-bag em and toss em in the shed. Do a little research online on vintage and popular band name watches and you'll easy enough begin to know what to keep an eye out for, but don't be fooled by fakes that are labeled with the very same names of the most popular brand watches, as there are so many of those out there.

Just fashion watches. For two bucks I would buy them for the watch straps. I'll buy fashion Watch lots and will usually pull 4 or 5 straps that I can use on other watches I'm selling.

Very good point JD. I've found nice Hirsch straps and OEM bands on lesser expensive average quartz watches before. I always check the thift store first when I have a need for a good looking strap, because Walmarts wanting 8 to 19 bucks for something decent anymore. I paid a bit over 4 bucks for some odd name cheap quartz watch in the thrift store because it had this OEM Bulova with Accutron buckle on it. I don't have an Accutron to put it on, but it looks right nice on this vintage manual wind L9 year 10k GF Bulova I have. Indeed there can be valuable bands and straps out there selling cheap.
