Elgin should come up with an original thought though

Elgin ain't what it used to be, sadly.

As Blansky noted, Elgin was one of the great American watch companies back in the day.

Here's an example of what they churn out these days.

Stares? How is that even possible? Everyone here knows that no one ever notices what kind of watch you're wearing.

From Tupac to Nirvana, Britany to Shania, Rock Rap Pop Punk Country all great music. Bill Clinton Didn't Inhale and Monica lied about being promiscuous with him

The slang was incredible. We had Michael F' ing Jordan to watch along with Tyson. Great Basketball and Boxing. The LA GEAR LIGHT UP SHOES. Shows like Friends, Sorpranos, Seinfeld, Full House, Family Matters ,Sister Sister, Saved By The Bell,BUFFY, Rugrats, BARNEY and crap ton more. Super Soakers, America Online, that sound as it dialed to connect. I know I could type for ever GigaPets, the Lion King. Just everything about the 90s was awesome.

Lol. Great post! The 90s were an amazing time to grow up in.

Yes they were

Nice-looking watch. Certainly a DD tribute. Would have got the attention of WIS when seen from a few meters distance.
The '90s were a complete blank to us.
We were raising little kids and neither of us remember much about the decade that didn't relate to family.

Seems the area I am in Florida now people look at wrists alot more than chicago.maybe because it's a smaller town

Some more 90s greatness from my collection

Just yesterday I was wondering how many times I had to reload my Windows 3.1 OS from 22 three and a half inch floppy disks to get my laptop working again.

Not fake, Elgin is/was a legit watch company... Just saw it was answered further down in the thread. I didn't make it that far.

When I was young I didn't know Rolex but always loved the presidential style

I think everyone in the 80s and 90s made a day date including seiko but none like the Elgin it was pretty spot on.
