    Hi, this is an unexciting version of the “I found this watch in a drawer” threads...

    What on earth is it?

    Manual wind that ticks along ok...

    But clearly some cheap cr%ppy thing...

    Oh and to make this thread a little more worthwhile, here’s a slightly more fruitful drawer find...

    I'm actually a big fan of these drawer finds. There is something neat about wearing a watch just because you like it, and not because it's $$$.

    Yeah, I like the Tissot especially. My dad bought it in the 70s and I took it when I was about 20 and needed a watch...I wore it for a few years, and it has sat in a drawer for over a decade...Has never had a service so will get that sorted and then wear with pride!

    Oh, and here’s another interesting one...If I had to guess, I would say it is from a Economic Community Of West African States (ECOWAS) conference...

    Perhaps it is a Lugana? Mikrolisk records the Lugana brand as belonging to Wega Watch SA (Wega & Delbana) of Grenchen, Switzerland; registered in April 1954. Here is another Lugana someone posted on YouTube:
