So in everyone’s “honest” opinion what was too much $$ wise for this watch

It’s worth the component parts. Maybe a couple hundred dollars.

$100 at most for me, depending on the condition of the movement. The case is plated and damaged, and the dial has no value.

Probably.

Rather than us guessing, why don’t you just say what you paid for it?
As you’ve heard, most collectors wouldn’t buy it even for $100 but it would likely sell for around $150-200 on eBay.

That seems nice enough, but bin that bloody awful old man style stretchy band and put it on a nice leather strap!
You can see where that stretchy band has already done damage to the lugs by gouging against them.
As to what it is and it's monetary value, you need to show us pix of the markings on the inside of the case back and the movement inside for us to give you an idea as to what you have exactly.
You probably should take it to a proper watchmaker to open it up.

Hey bud here are the photos you requested, let me know what you think
