The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[ATLjon]

Posted recently about the bs record pricing at the Goodwill nearest to my house. But I will pay up when this is the quality you get -- $42ish after taxes even with two throwaways that made their way into the pile.

I love the smell of vintage watch oil in the morning.

Nice watch lot. The bracelet on that Longines almost looks like a 1970's Seiko H-link bracelet that were used for Pogues. That and the Tissot look around that age to me - 70s or early 80s. Wonder what they date to.

@impuntura: crazy how you keep finding decent watches. Good for you. Things like that very rarely reach the thrift stores around here. All I see are $2 China watches in pink plastic and other useless timekeepers. In 7-8 years of pro thrifting I have found only two watches that were worth flipping for $50-100.

Pickings are slim and far between.
Not sure if it's a thread first idk much about it. At a resell store near college campus for 30 I picked it up for the mohair blend. Right next to old old zegna blazer for 100 lol.

I found a LGB a few months back, still in my ever growing backlog but it was too weird to not buy.

Those are fake, easiest sign is the relatively flat toe on the fakes, with the real ones having a more obvious protrusion at the top of the toe. Other signs are stitching and interior finish, and the placement of the eyelet, it should be closer to the toecap.

You can get your own pair for about $60
