Picked this up a few days ago to be my road watch. I sold my old "Coke" 16710 and missed it badly, so had to buy this old thing to keep me company on the road. It's only worth $3 so I don't have to worry about impressing anyone with it.

petesjag · 27 November 2010, 05:22 AM

yup thats one cheap looking thing...I think you overpayed by 1$
ha.ha..

ingoodtime · 27 November 2010, 05:23 AM

I have the same daily beater. Mine cost a little more.

hanybad · 27 November 2010, 05:29 AM

I'll give you $10 for it.

minjitta · 27 November 2010, 06:00 AM

going up $20.00 please click here for $21.00

TSts · 27 November 2010, 06:01 AM

You were had, I paid $2.69 for mine.
Nice watch!

Le Chef · 27 November 2010, 06:22 AM

Yep, nice watch for $3. I beat my dealer to a pulp to get it to $3 and told him I didn't care about HVAC or windows in the store and that fancy little espresso machine was of NO value to me. And who cares about after sales service anyway? I almost didn't buy it though. He told me that I looked too old to own a Rolex and that I should buy someone more appropriate like a G-Shock. I'm SO sensitive and self conscious about comments like that! Life can be a b!tch when you're buying nice things for yourself.

TRW · 27 November 2010, 06:24 AM

I would give You 25 if I had it.

TimeToGo · 27 November 2010, 07:03 AM

Did you ask the AD for a discount?!

Le Chef · 27 November 2010, 07:11 AM

Of course! That's how I got it down to $3.

I think he got one on you. The retail tag says $3.00.

You could have gone to another AD, out of state, and not paid the tax!

Le Chef · 27 November 2010, 07:22 AM

But I did get a free cleaning cloth, a catalogue, a price list, and a cuddly toy. Nice Bruce...very nice Bruce...(for our Brit friends)

Warnsboy · 27 November 2010, 07:41 AM

Find a new AD and tell me where yours is

Mr. K · 27 November 2010, 09:25 AM

I am not sure how you run your finances, but I would see if they would do a 12 months same as cash credit deal. Put down 10% or 30 cents, then pay the rest over the year, that way you can keep your $2.70 pretty liquid. But just my 2 cents.

Joey_V · 27 November 2010, 09:46 AM

Cheapest looking watch ever.

When you have more money, come back and talk to us.

Roxas · 28 November 2010, 12:51 AM

Looks really nice for a $3 watch. Thanks for sharing. I think you should have pushed the AD a bit further to get it at $2.7.

garis · 28 November 2010, 01:55 AM

I paid almost $7800 Singapore Dollars for mine. Damn, I've been had.

Wisconsin Proud · 28 November 2010, 01:58 AM

LMAO!!

No doubt the AD got rich off you.

BTW - great watch!!

axjimenez · 28 November 2010, 03:12 AM

Heck, I had a guy give me $3.00 to take it off his hands? How about, want to make a deal?

Beautiful GMT II BTW!

Congrats.

mike · 28 November 2010, 04:53 AM

You'll be fine. A couple price increases and you'll be square.

Considering the nature of this thread, I think it was just your 1 cent.

kutzon · 28 November 2010, 10:18 AM

Funny how so far no one have asked: "do they have more of these"?? :-)

Perdu · 28 November 2010, 11:27 AM

I'll give you $9.00 for it - three times what you bought it for. Now how could you turn that down.
