First vintage thrift store find
Probably one of the biggest dream of a watch nerd is finding a hidden gem in some random thrift stores. Found mine today lol, nothing too special but in super good condiiton. It’s a vintage 2000 watch from Fada with Coca-Cola print on a cool sunburst dial. Can’t find much info about it online or eBay, so would love to learn more about it if you know more. Plus, would love to see your quirky/rare vintage thrift store finds too. 😊

Oh sweet, a great size and clean, legible design with what appears to be an expansion band to boot! I got nothing. There's only one place I've ever seen stuff and it tended to be a bit more on the junky and kitschy side, even by my tastes.

90% of why I even bother with thrift stores.
Great pickup!

Dang.
I Need to find a better class of thrift stores.
I see and find a lot of flea market but so far no luck on my local thrift stores. But that’s a really nice find.
