to be specific, r/WatchExchange is the dedicated buying and selling subreddit.
You're the second person I've heard mention reddit. Good to know, thanks!
Nothing spectacular. Just an average watch or two I no longer wear. Plus sometimes you don't realize a watch is not for you until you've worn it. It's good to know of a place where I can easily unload a watch if I needed to.

I just came across this interesting article and thought it would fit right into this thread. If not, just ignore and remove please!

As of right now I’m tracking down a Gruen Precision 510. This watch was apparently part of Sean Connery’s personal collection and even used in some of his movies. But the big reason I want this watch is because it was supposedly the unknown watch used in the 007 film You Only Live Twice starring Connery himself. Some say he took it from his personal collection, wore it to the set, and used it in the film. This is a lot of speculation but I believe it’s true.
Let's keep this thread going!

I have a thing for trench watches, but I don't own an original. The Timex Midget scratched the itch for a while but it's quartz, and the font, while accurate to the Ingersoll Midget, isn't my favorite.
This is the Vario 1918 which has an automatic Miyota movement. I think this will be my go to watch for quite some time.

Some of my favorites. One of these is a fake, but its a nice, $500 fake. Can anyone tell witch one it is?
The 2 gold vintage, Hamilton and Ernest Borrell watches were my fathers and grandfathers watches, the Borrell has an optical illusion like its continuously opening, I always loved to watch that as a kid, and my grandfather only wore it on special occasions.

Recently put the steel band on my Omega Speedmaster 57.

Been on the lookout for a Mercury, but not paying the $2000+ prices resellers are asking. You might as well just buy a MoonWatch!

Exactly! These are not limited and will be available online in a few months. I think $250 is pretty fair especially with “omega” being on it.
I have no idea why these were released in Swatch stores only for a few weeks. Most of the Swatch stores in my radius closed up.
