I'm only wearing my watch today because I'm used to the feel. It stopped during the night. Probably just the battery, but it's suffered enough entropy that I probably should get a new watch entirely. One of the internal time bars fell off and is stuck along the inside.

...there's a guy in the Tenderloin who sells genuine Rolexes for $50 cash. Such a deal!

Genuine!

Back in college, I got a platinum Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust for $40 in Times Square, NYC. (Funny, it needed a new battery after a while...) I thought of it as being costume jewelry for men - I would wear it for super-fancy-schmancy-formal occasions.

And, I'll bet that guy who was selling them is still there today.

I can't find it at the moment (Google isn't finding it for me, anyways), but you can buy 'Fred Flintstone'-style sundial watches for about $25.

Or you could make your own for nothing.
