Goodwill watches - either a watch guy died, got divorced or is about to get divorced.

Was visiting my local Goodwill today when I saw the jewelry lady come out of the back room with a box of watches. I did a double take when I thought I saw a rare Seiko among the watches. I followed her to the jewelry counter and was shocked to find the exact watch I thought I had seen... plus a few others among the used up crud.

There were two Casio G-Shocks - both solar powered and auto-atomic setting, a Citizen Eco-Drive Aqualand Titanium diver's watch, and the one I'd seen through the box, a Seiko H601-5480 aka the "Arnie." The Seiko was worn by Schwarzenegger in a few movies in the 1980s earning it the nickname, "The Arnold" or "Arnie." One just like it, but not nearly as nice as mine just old on Ebay for $450. The Citizen should be worth even more. My price for all four... $54!

Like my title said, I figure either a watch guy just died, just got divorced, or is about to get divorced!
