I had a little Timex that I bought in a dime store in Tucumcari New Mexico when I was working out there as a kid. It was a dirt simple thing that had an analog dial and the date at three o’clock. There was a third hand that was for the alarm which you set and turned on and off with a second little crown. I think I paid ten or twelve bucks for that thing and it was flawless for years and years until I broke the crystal out of it and drowned it in a ditch. I never throw anything away that is remotely identifiable so I hope to dumb across it in a box of FOD one of these days. I’ll definitely have to flex that one on y’all.
That's a cool watch!
Crystal needs work and maybe some work on the case but kind of looks cool with the age of the watch.... bracelet will be switched for a Nato band when I decide what color scheme to go with.... so many choices lol.
Westclox collection up to 2 lol.
Okay, gotta ask, what is a "poverty watch?" Sub $150 pricing only? Some of these were higher end, especially the Lucien Piccard, Seiko's and Citizens when they were originally sold. In My mind the Casio Diver probably Qualifies. I have a Sector, it was over $700 new back in 1995, now if running only commands about $100 on ebay.

What you paid for it ....... $30ish even if you seem to find those "steals" that @dlbleak seems to find all the time for a watch that should cost more.... I also have a Seiko kinetic waiting on a strap, I found that was for parts but it only needed a battery.
