Watches


Looking for the old party hats photo's from my last post I stumbled upon these watches that I never showed before. A find from 2016 but I remember it well. In clear day light a young expat leaving the country unplanned (I guess) to go home or move on left some very nice stuff on the curb. I know because while loooking at the music books (that I did post about before) he came back to bring more. One thing I remember was an electric screwdriver, but I let a neighbour also looking have it.

However it's not so easy to sell watches. On the Dutch 'Ebay' you have to pay for the listing and you need to know enough about them. I managed once on anoher selling site where it is without costs, but I think that one came from giveaway shop. Among these I decided in the end only the gold plated Casio would be worth trying (as the silver coloured is incomplete). But I never did. Through the years I sent the other four to the thrift shop. The Casio somehow collected dirt while lying around and when I finally cleaned it the gold plate was slightly damaged. And so that one went to thrift shop as well somewhere last year. Sure fire I made someone very happy.
