Sometimes I get a nice surprise while out shopping. I have seen dozens of Nixon watches but never saw a Nixon dive watch until today. I had to give an estimate today and while on the north shore I decided to hit my usual Army Barracks, Guitar Center and TJ Maxx in Peabody Ma. No luck finding anything at my first two stops by that time is was raining so hard I almost turned around and came home but I accidentally turned right instead of left and was head towards TJs. So I figured it was fate! I got there and it was raining so hard I barely could see the leaper hood ornament on my Jag. I waited a few min for it to let up but it got worse so I made the mad dash to the front door. I GOT SOAKED! LOL I checked out the Halloween stuff right inside the front door dripping water. I went straight to the watches and NOTHING of interest. As I was walking around i notice some boxes on the counter. These usually are the ones I think they don't care walk out the door on their own. I saw two Nixon boxes and checked them out. The first was a Nixon C45 didn't really do it for me. I opened the other box and there was a Nixon Dive watch $49.99. It was MINE! While waiting to check out the woman working the dept was helping another lady, The were in a tizzy seems like the customer insisted she gave the sale women $40.00 and the sales women was going crazy looking for it when I spotted it on the other side of the counter and pointed it out. My good dead for the day! LOL The both thanked me for having the eyes of a hawk and the women left. I said to the lady behind the counter i was taking the watch and she rang me up I handed her my TJX card got the receipt and she took of 10%. I told her she didn't have to do that but she said I saved her $40.00 because if they didn't find it she would have been responsible. That is my story of the day!
Here is the watch...
