      I found it on eBay for $30. The seller's picture was so bad that nobody bid on it. So, I downloaded the sellers pic and did some "surgerY" with the GIMP; well it looked good, so I entered a last second bid and won it. I was still the ONLY bidder. Another thing, the original owner had thrown away the original metal bracelet and put an old leather strap with was too narrow for the wide lugs. That's was another negative, I believe. So, I just ordered up a new replacement steel bracelet from TImex. At the time it was only $8.00. (They've gone up to $12.00 now) So, for $38 bucks I owned my first Timex automatic. Still have it and it runs great. It did have a few scratches on the case, but I buffed them out with my Dremel and restored the case to new. Here's a pic of it after I restored it:
