Fursty's Yard Sale

Okay, as part of my quality, not quantity, I'm selling eight watches on eBay right now. You guessed it, they're not my favorites, but it feels good to be thinning the herd. I'm guessing a few of them won't sell, as they're a bit obscure (and undesirable), but that's the way it goes.
Check it out if you want.

New Arrival: Starck Fossil O Ring

Okay, this one is a little bit out there. It is a little bit analog. It doesn't have a stopwatch so I can't use it when I got for a run. But it is black rubber with a silver face and it doesn't have hands. It gives the hour numerically and then a minute around the face for each minute. Pretty cool. It has no buttons except on the back for setting the time. You have to use the end of a paper clip. Its size is good. It has a hole in the middle to show off my wrist hair. Pretty cool, an 8.5 out of 10.

New Arrival: Tech 4 O Accelerator

I got this watch on eBay for quite cheap. I think less than $20 including shipping. It's too small for my taste. A little sterile and boring too. I've already got it back on eBay to sell. Not sure if it will move, but I'm trying to keep only watches I really like and will wear. I give it a 4 out of 10.

New Freestyle 2011 catalog

There's a new catalog for Spring and Summer 2011 Freestyle watches. I like the Stride and the Tide 4.0 (although I'm not sure about the Tide 4.0 colors and may have to do some band changes). Here's the catalog:

Christmas and eBay watch shopping

This is a very unscientific observation based merely on informal information on eBay items: stuff is expensive on eBay now. I'm not seeing any cheap watches; I'm seeing lots of bidding. This is good as I've sold a couple watches (Nixon Primer which was way too small, for example). I think I'll have to wait until after Christmas to make any new purchases. Maybe we'll see some buy it now deals after Christmas? Or just less shopping?

New/old Arrival: Oakley D2 watch

Okay, early on I got the D2 in blue, before I really understood the significance of my early watch desires. I was young (you know, 34) and stupid (same guy) and I thought a blue watch would make sense. I was very wrong. Anyway, I have been looking for a black D2 and would then sell my blue one. I did both successfully, and actually made a few bucks. I like Oakley products, and often wear their clothes and always wear their sunglasses, and have three pairs of RX Oakley shades. I had another pair stolen about a decade ago.
In any event, good watch, a little small, funky but cool shape. Similar button layout to the D1. The rubber feels a little weird, but different weird from the D1. Maybe because it's been off the market for about a decade.
Here's the D2 below.

Minor Epiphany?

I think I may start thinning out my herd of watches and focusing on quality not quantity. There are watches that I never wear. I don't think I could sell them for much on eBay, but I might as well get something instead of nothing for them, and put the money towards something I will enjoy and wear time and again. So my number may go down, but as always I have my eyes open for some new buys. And Christmas is coming up, and I may do some bartering.... More to come.
