Picked up this 70's? Timex at one of the local thrifts for $5.28 U.S., including tax. Keeping good time over the last 4 hours, but no quick set date. I guess you get what you pay for. LOL

Isn’t that what you do while you wait for the coffee to brew in the morning- set the date?

This is my dad's watch, that had belonged to my grandfather too.
A1925 Gruen Precision Quadro.
Still running and beautifully agreed.

Found this thread buried deep in the recesses of OF. Some very nice vintage budget watches and a thread that could stand a revival of sorts. Surely some folks have gotten a great deal on an “off-brand” since the last post in 2021. Let’s see ‘em 😀

Had forgotten about this thread.
Bought this Omega Geneve for $3.00 about a year ago.
Bought in perfect cosmetic and working condition, didn't even need to polish the OEM lens as no marks.
Just gave it a service so I could daily wear.

Got this little guy last summer in a $6 bag of broken quartz watches. I think it qualifies. All it needed was the crown secured and tightened up.
