with it?

all it needs is a new battery, i don't know if this is too old manish.

i have 2 seikos and a citizen which are all mechanical or eco-drive. im not too big of a fan of quartz watches, but i saw this and bought a band for it.

the band is alligator leather

first pic is pic of the old metal band (stock) second is with the new band.

what do you guys think? keep it or toss it?

It looks too beat up. Unless it has some sentimental value to you, why bother with it when new automatic orients can be bought for about $60 USD on the bay?
