Not American, but definitely would. I’d get it a new fun/tacky paintjob for shits and giggles, maybe a realistic/stylized total rust bucket look, or grandma’s crocheted lace. Or, if possible, just black and enhance any scratches with fineline gold paint, overscratch swastikas and replace them with flowers, etc.

Is anyone into watches at the age when rich men try to pick them up? I could be easily impressed by a watch now (a personalised G-Shock $50-300, any diapason $500-2k, an enthusiastic watch geek explaining their Jaeger-Lecoultre…), but not part of the target demographic.
