I claimed the Orient, so it's my turn to share.

Up for grabs is this Sturhling rootbeer GMT. It's a pretty good watch, but I don't wear it and would like to pass it along.

Head only, unless I can find what I did with the bracelet.

I'll cover postage to anywhere USPS considers domestic, otherwise, you'll have to make up the difference.

OK, now I am super behind on the PIF front...

Well overdue to PIF after claiming fixer upper watches from Animal Mother. Here are a couple that I am just not wearing. If there are no takers here, they go into the boyscout box.

——————————————-
-I will pay for shipping within CONUS, if you want something shipped internationally and are willing to pay the difference, I am OK with that.
-PM me to claim.
-I only get to the post office every other week, so you may need to be patient.
-Since I am sending packages, I can also send some of my GShock/springbar adapter prototypes if you like (use at your own risk).

Timex Gallatin
Used for lume experimentation and that came out reasonably well, not perfect, but a tacticool beater with a fixed bezel.

Edit: Adding lume shot.

Timex Expedition
This thing is a tank. A little big for me, you can always bludgeon someone with it.

I've got another one that came into my possession that is just a little big for me at 42mm. It does have a nice 'art deco, I'm going out to the movies tonight' thing going on. I rarely go to the movies anymore, so it is here to find a good home...

Citizen Eco-drive with small seconds hand, 42mm with original strap. Ref. B690-S08039842.
It keeps good time and holds a charge (haven't tested how full, but it hasn't quit during casual wearing). Could use with a touch from a polishing cloth, but is in otherwise good shape.

I believe I'm way overdue to post something here. I apologise. Also doing this from my phone so hopefully it works out.
Paying it Forward with a Citizen Quartz dress watch that I believe belonged to my girlfriend's Uncle or brother. Neither wanted it so I inherited it thinking I'd wear it. I don't. So now you can!
I don't have calipers so these measurements were taken using tape measure.
Case Width - 36mm no crown
Lug to Lug - 42mm
Lug Width - 20mm
Thickness - 6mm
Battery was changed to a brand new battery 2 months ago. It's been ticking great and accurate since then.
Day and date change well and are responsive.
Watch is in great condition with signs of usual wear on case and bracelet but nothing crazy. Case back does have a decent scratch thanks to me trying to remove the back to change the battery.
Crystal looks clear.
Bracelet has 2 mini adjustments on clasp. I don't have any extra links and is currently sized smallest it can be. Fits barely a little big on my 6.75 inch wrist.
I actually really like the look and I think it can be unisex. I just know I'll never wear it so want someone to have it that will.
I'll cover shipping in conus. International I guess can be done with your help if you really want but I'd prefer to keep it simple.
Any questions let me know!

Unofficial MoT Watch Deal Forum Watch. Designed and built by Sporkboy.

I am tired of looking at this one staring at me all day as if asking when it is getting a new home.

Free to the first non-mod ‘active member’ that PMs me. Basically, I should recognize your user name or easily see that you are active in part of the forum I am not.

I will pay CONUS shipping, you can pitch in for international if you are so inclined.
