A cool, new old watch

I have this watch I found and a consignment shop, bought it for $5. The band was hanging on by just a thread because I’m almost sure it was the original band and the watch had to be a couple of decades old. I wore it a few times before the band broke, so I put it in a drawer where it got shuffled to the back over the course of many months. Then in dawned on me: stores sell watch bands. What a crazy idea!

I found a band I liked and I’ll save the hysterics of putting on this new watch band for another post (the whole process was extremely humbling 🙃) but now that the new band is on, I take every chance I get to wear the watch when I’m going just about anywhere.


Oh yeah, I should mention that the watch doesn’t tell time. But since when does that matter!? I’m guessing its battery has been dead for a long time. I just like the way it looks so if you see me walking around with this watch on, don’t hold your breath that I’ll be able to give you the time if you ask. 🙂
