Last week, I !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! about the cornucopia of refurbished old watches being sold on eBay by watchmakers in India. Since then, I bought two watches from that post, for $14 and $15. Now I have a few I’m watching for my wife, and I’m trying to decide on one more for me. I have a problem.
I’ve been on this kick of buying not-round watches, because I have a few round ones, and I want not-round ones. But rather than get one nice-ish decent new one for like $200 or more, I found these cheap eBay ones. These are my round watches, nothing super fancy but I think nice enough:
I’ve now bought these couple watches for myself from my last post:
I’m limiting myself to one more, and that’s it. Even though they’re cheap. Oh and I’m picking up a couple for my wife, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about. Help me pick my last (for now) watch!
The Tressa Laser Beam watch at the top of this post is kinda cool, gives me a bit of Men in Black kinda vibe, but not really something I see myself actually wearing. Here are some I’ve got in my eBay watchlist:
Citizen 1
Citizen 2
Seiko 1
Seiko 2
Which watch should I get?

I mean the Tressa says fucking “Laser Beam” on it, that is the obvious choice;)

The Tressa is little known and Swiss Made, so that would be my choice.
Fun fact: They were only around for 21 years (1966 until 1987) before they went bankrupt. Their assets were then sold off to Rado Watch Co.

1. Thanks to you I have a lovely $14 Oris watch en route from India. You bastard
2. What do you do for watch storage? I have a very nice watch case that holds 6, but I only have one space left now.
3. I like the Tressa best.

I don’t really have a good watch storage solution, right now I have this sorta little valet shelf thing that used to be my father-in-law’s, it’s where I put my wedding ring and assorted other baubles. But especially with now having a couple automatic watches on the way I could use some kind of winder since with 5 (and growing) watches in the rotation they’re not going to be worn every day.

fwiw , I’ve had very good luck with Orbita watch winders:
...but they’re expensive. It’s cheaper just to wind the beast up when you’re ready to wear it. :-)
