Surprise

I bought a new watch at the end of 2023 and it will be here Saturday. I got it on eBay. The gentleman selling said that he was selling it for parts because it stops working when he doesn’t wear it. Completely oblivious to how automatic watches work. 😂😂😂😂😂

I feel bad for buying it and not educating him, but it’s a watch I wanted. Usually $700 and I got it for $325. Am I a bad person? Either way, I will keep it a secret until it comes. Anyone have any guesses as to what I bought?

Nah not your job to educate him. Excited to see your NWA!

Maybe another Seiko? An adittion to your Seiko 5 Sport? Maybe a Seiko 5 GMT, although 700$ base price is a bit high for that one.

Nope, not a seiko. A hint is that it’s a Swiss movement!

Tissot??

Waiting for the look on your face if the watch has a power reserve of about 2 hours.

The watch works when I wear it but after I stopped wearing it it stopped working, it holds the time well if you wear it everyday other than that it stops and you have to adjust, so I’m selling for parts or not working.

That was in the original posting so I just assumed he was completely unaware of how automatics work. Hahah It could be busted for sure.

It’s a surprise.

I would wait for the actual watch before being so sure of the deal of the year.

I was that guy like 6 months ago; narrowly avoided an awkward repair shop encounter

Haha a friend of my wife's said the exact thing about her father's old Omega. I was very proud when she educated her on the matter 😍
