A Brand New . . . Old Timex

Looking at a New Old Stock (NOS) Timex Mercury

Many people assume that collecting vintage watches isn't affordable.  However, I recently bought a brand, new, in the original box, (new old stock), Timex Mercury manual wind wristwatch on eBay for about $40.

A 1970s vintage Timex Mercury watch

It's a simple watch.  But, it is interesting to compare it with today's Timex watches. I like the no nonsense styling of this 1970s vintage watch. It looks sharp! I can't believe I was able to find it in New Old Stock condition in its factory box.
