I’ve really enjoyed trying different watches, pairing them with various bands, and seeing how they look in different styles. The only problem is that I’ve accumulated far too many, so I’m starting to sell a few to make room for new ones. I purchased this watch from JCPenney online about two weeks ago, but I already own several watches that are very similar, so I’ve decided to let this one go. It has only been worn three times and is in the same condition as when I took it out of the box. The bracelet includes all of the original links, and everything that came with the watch is included, plus a leather rally and a woven tactical bands. It’s a sharp-looking watch that would make a great addition to any collection. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. -PRODUCT OVERVIEW Own a piece of space history.
