Cuff ’Em

this is probably my last watch acquisition of 2025. It’s a super mod Marcel Boucher cuff watch. I won it in a MaxSold auction for $6. It works but is missing its crystal — an easy repair, I just have to order a replacement online.

This is the second MaxSold auction I have won. MaxSold auctions are fun! Sort of a mix between early eBay and Facebook marketplace. There are definitely deals to be had. Earlier this month, I placed a six dollar bid for a trio of non-working watches. Yes, I said I was swearing off project watches but they were only six bucks! One is an Elgin Parisienne. The other is this very cool, very modern Seiko.
