    **Copied from my thread over at the WatchUSeek Forums.**

    I have been into watches for the past 5 years, but never to extent at which I am now. Last week I got my first $500+ or as I call it "grown-ass-mans" watch (Halios Laguna) and I am hooked.

    Better/specific pictures available upon request.

    I will work my way left to right on the bottom (Nixon Row)

    1. Nixon "Victor the Vector" - Dead Battery - Good shape $75 obo
    2. Nixon "The District" - Great shape - new battery - Regular ware with no deep scratches - $100 obo
    3. Nixon "The Agent" - Dead Battery - My first "project" watch.. I bought it without a strap and then sourced a strap off of amazon - $50 obo
    4. Nixon "Rubber Player" - Rare-ish color combo - newest Nixon (5 months old tops) - maybe 12 wears max - $125 obo
    5. Nixon "Revolver" - Dead Battery - First dress watch - Strap is a little worn - $75 obo

    Next I will work right to left on the top row (Halios is NOT for sale)

    6. Timex "Weekender" - My chores watch - Great form factor when working around the house - $25 obo
    7. Timex "Expedition" - Bought it for a camping trip - Used 1 time for a long weekend - $30 obo
    8. Stuhrling "Original" - Bought this as a "nicer" than a Nixon - Worn a couple dozen times - $100 obo
    9. Citizen "Night Hawk" blackout - Took this one in on a trade - Worn sparingly by previous owner (less than 10 times) and only 1 time by me - $225 obo

    BONUS

    10/11. Lunatik "Chicago" Black and Brown - Bought these for a iPod I was gifted.. Turns out it was gifted after being ran over slightly and the iPod was not able to fit in either of these cases. More info here https://www.lunatik.com/products/ipod-nano/lunatik?variant=chicago-black Asking $75 obo for both

    Paypal is preferred method of payment. Interested in selling as a bulk or combo deals.. Will toss in the watch box if you buy 3 of the watches or will sell it for an extremely reduced price if you buy a watch and want it.

    I am also open to trades. So please feel free to make an offer.

    Nice to see another watch collector on this forum. I recently bought a "decent" watch myself... Got a Hamilton. I have the itch again to buy another nicer watch for work, but not quite ready yet to drop thousands lol.

    I do kinda like that Stuhrling, but I'm guessing it's not an automatic...

    It is an automatic. ;)

    It is nice to know that I am not alone on here with this budding hobby.

    I actually have been eyeing up a Hamilton Jazzmaster to replace my current dress watch.

    Im a big fan of nice watches. My dad got me hooked when I was growing up and now he and I have quite the collection of Bulova Accutrons (mostly from the 1960's).
    I also have a Tissot that I found in a public bathroom at a beach in Singapore a few years ago lol.
    I have had my eye on a few Hamilton automatics though...but that Stuhrling looks like a nice option to save my money.

    Also happy to see more watch fanatics on the board. I just bought myself a tissot visodate after getting my new job. It was a tough call between that and a hamilton slim-o-matic.

    Ya know, I keep seeing a lot of chatter about Tissot.. I should do some more homework.

    I am really drawn to Hamilton with their roots going back to WWII. Kind of a neat history there..

    Have you guys heard of these watches? I found them randomly when looking for a place to repair vintage watches. They are located in NE minneapolis right by my house and apparently make their own watches!
    I don't know who's movement it is (I assume its swiss) but they look pretty nice for modern style automatics.
