NIU watch on Ebay - HuskieJohn - 01-27-2012 11:00 PM
I know a few people over the past year have mentioned where to get this. This is the first time I have seen this for sale. Its way down on my priority list so any of you guys that have $115 burning a hole in your pocket go for it...but please remember the IPF first!

I like the looks of it actually. But unless that's real gold, I'm not paying over $100 for it.

My wife purchased one of these for me for my birthday last June. She did not buy it from an ebay retailer and I am not sure what she paid for it.
At this price, you are certainly paying for the uniqie factor and not the quality of the watch. It is fun to have, I am happy to have it but I would not spend over $100 for it if I were buying it on my own.

If it was all silver, no gold, and had a brown leather wrist band (or just silver) and half the price...then yes :)

I have one of those watches that I got several years ago, but I prefer tthe leather band. I have a couple of those.

I also prefer the leather band. He has one with a black band - don't know if that's leather, plastic or what. Don't think it really "goes" with the rest of the watch though. And it's over $100.

That's the "ladies" watch.

If you buy it, just change the band to one you like. I have a brown lizard band on mine.

I have one and it keeps time just fine. That said, it was a gift and I would not pay over $100 for it which I believe that someone said it was recently priced at on eBay. Still it is fun to wear it in Buckeye country and also to wear it in a meeting with my boss, an Illness grad.
