    **Important Note**
    I really enjoy watches and that's why I started this channel so I could review them regularly but my satisfaction is not found in owning or experiencing watches, no matter how many I may accumulate or how luxurious and expensive they may be . . .
    Wise King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 "He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity."
    The truth is, material possessions of any kind, money, power, etc. never can and never will satisfy our hungering souls. Only knowing, loving, and serving God can truly satisfy.
    The only way we can have a real relationship with God, the Creator of the Universe, is through the Lord Jesus Christ, the sinless Son of God.
    "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
    Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, for my sins and your sins, and His resurrection from the dead we can have peace with God (Romans 5:1), forgiveness of sins (Acts 10:43), eternal life (John 3:16), and so much more!
    In Christ, we can know true joy now and for all eternity.
    "He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life." - 1 John 5:12

    The number 76 on the back of the Timex is a date code. April 1991. You can Google the date code chart.

    👍 Glad you shared...I got my Tissot chrono for $25, Pulsar (Seiko) flightmaster for $30, Casio Gravity Master for $50 and Swiss Wenger for $40. All working perfect and were "like new" just by passing through flea markets and pawn shops. You got a pretty good deal too. Best thing is you get to "put it on your wrist and observe before you buy," unlike the risky eBay shopping. Of course, I couldn't afford these new and would not consider them at a watch store. 😀

    Hi ,..The Majestic Swiss watch would be one of the many watch brands that produces everything for their watches except the watch movement . Manufactures like ETA , A. Schilds and others produced movements available to these many watch brands both large and small .
    For example I have a Breitling Chronomat that uses a movement made by Valjoux which is now owned by ETA .
    On many Swiss watches the hallmark of the manufacturer and the caliber of the movement is under or in the vicinity of the balance wheel .

    That Seiko find will make you money regardless of whether it works or not. Curious to see what happens when you install the battery. I just hope one wasn’t left inside and the battery leaked. Had this happen to a vintage watch I purchased on eBay.

    Really cool. I too have found a couple of cool watches at op shops ( as we Aussies call them)
    One is a 1960's Unicorn made by Rolex (working) for $60 AUD and the other a 1980's Longines quartz (again working) for $25 AUD.
    The bargains are certainly out there, one just needs to be lucky enough to find them👍
