    Timex are great and most people just think they are worthless, most of the resellers around me are like that anyways, they are only out there looking for designer brands so it works out well lol.

    I'm glad that you showed up in my feed once again good haul you got some nice watches. I hope rude comments to get to you about your haul remember its easier to make 400 bucks off of 40 affordable watches over making 400 bucks off a 10k watch that gave you a headache to sale.

On the watches that are over wound, you can release them if you're careful. If you want to know how, (just in case you don't know how, I can explain how to do it.
