This is a blog about men's watches. So, women's watches rarely see the light of day here. Nevertheless, I did run across an interesting women's watch at a thrift store. Here is an Elgin Oyster-style women's watch. I saw it in a north Georgia thrift store priced at $15.

At first, I thought it might be valuable, but a quick internet search revealed that it wasn't from the venerable watchmaker's better days. By the seventies and eighties, the Elgin name had been sold off to the purveyors of Asian-sourced watches.

Nevertheless, this Elgin is a nice looking watch. I like the "cyclops" magnifier over the date. With a new battery, a watch like this might serve someone's mother, wife, or girlfriend well. If you can't find one in a thrift store, similar watches are still available today under the Elgin name.
I really enjoyed reading your blog post "The Watch Dude". I love the subtle humor in your writing. You have a knack for finding the perfect balance of sarcastic and genuine. I also really appreciate the watch review you did in this post as it was great to read.

Great post! I love how you showcased the Elgin Oyster-style watch—simple, elegant, and affordable. It’s perfect for vintage fans. With such busy schedules, it’s no wonder some students look to pay someone to take my exam just to stay on track!
