As you can tell, I kind of got involved in this challenge. I am honestly quitting looking for these now. I had $4 worth of entertainment on this challenge, so if a watch shows up, it will be a pleasant surprise.

I like the "2 Year Protection Plan"; it will probably cost more than the watch!
I believe it was right around $1.78 give or take 5 cents.

I looked at more than one pic and the rogue subdial hand was in different positions. That doesn't prove anything, I know, so I may have to buy one just to figure this out! :lol:
I am totally wrong on this one. I actually have a Winner that was given to me and it does indeed have 2 running seconds hands
Winner Watches. When every second counts...twice.

:lol: This reminds me of advice I give to clients/witnesses before they are deposed: Answer the question you are asked and only that question, not what you think the other lawyer is getting at. The example I give is, if you're asked "Do you know what time it is?" your answer should be "Yes" and not "2:15."
I wish that watch were 38mm?
