Even the so-called dollar-watch looks like a winner to my eyes! You gonna share the price with us?

Inquiring minds need to know!

Man, I never get deals like that!

Has anyone noticed how Westclox ripped-off the case styling from the Model 15 Hamilton and the other related Star Cases?

I guess I never noticed that, but I did notice that the instructions behind the Westclox in the image above say: "Seth Thomas Keywound Clock Instructions and Guarantee........"

No wonder Seth had to get out of the watch business.... They were guaranteeing watches they didn't even make!
