These are my watches that I’ve found in thrift stores or pawnshops over the years, except for the old Gruen. That one was a wedding gift from my grandmother to my grandfather in 1945. I’ve liked watches since I won one in a $.25 vending machine in the early 80’s as a kid.
I had a Rolex 15 years ago, but sold it. I decided it was more fun to find watches then buy them new or at a dealer.
