Here's the deal. This watch is missing the leather straps and the battery is currently dead. I replaced the battery 2x in approximately 6 years of use and after the 2nd time I had enough of having to send it so an "authorized Victorinox" repair place. The removable plate has some sort of seal that can be damaged if the watch repair person is not careful, therefore ruining its water resistance. So, I paid to have the batteries replaced the proper way. IIRC, battery plus shipping (labor was free I believe) came in around $15. It looks like this except for the face, mine is tan and was part of the Marlboro collection though there are NO Marlboro logos/wording etc:

This watch is used and shows some signs of wear but the crystal is intact with no cracks or serious scratches. The bezel is in similar condition and it still has the original pins. Given that the potential user would have to purchase a band (leather Cavalry band roughly $30), and put in a new battery ($15-$20?), and taking into consideration the used but not abused condition; I'd be willing to trade for folding knives in the $50-$70 (either price as new or price as condition dictates) range by:
Kershaw
Benchmade
Cold Steel
Spyderco
Anything else that sounds interesting
I have nothing to gain by trying to trade a broken watch. I have kept it in my pants drawer for years in a padded bubble wrap pouch. I am a regular user of this site with good feedback so far so please trade with confidence. I will email detailed photos to serious inquiries, please send me any offers to:

Thanks!
