My 25-year-old Seiko watch kicked the bucket Saturday.
While looking at eBay for a watch, I found a vintage Bulova from the estate sale of a watch repairman.
No one bid on it and I got it for ten dollars. Self-winding, supposedly it works just fine, appears to be from the '60s. I won't know until it shows up.
Since the Internet, I've bought dozens of things for a fraction of what it would otherwise cost me.
