Found it:
The probability of landing on a watch within an available tier – from the lowest to highest available tier – is 87.2%, 10%, 2.36%, .4%, and .04%.

I landed on the tier 3, so it can happen.
I figured the Rolex, omega or Tag was going to be really tough to hit.

I have spun three times in the last 3 months - I got 2 first tier watches - both show a retail of over $150, and then hit the tier 3 - most likely the last time I will spin for a while - but there are a lot of great watches on the wheels...
I got this one on my first spin, really like it...

I saw a watch available at an estate sale (photo on the website), but it had been sold by the time I arrived. I've tried a few pages, but no joy - if any of you can successfully identify this watch, I'll make a donation in your name to the charity of your choice (not a lot, I'm not rich). It's probably a Fossil, but it could be a Guess. This is the best / only photo I have of it.

So, going on a few watch forums, I discovered some interesting new companies - I need a bit of variety for my Fossil-heavy collection. Parnis, a Chinese company that make decent-quality ripoffs of super expensive Western brands, are going to get some money from me soon. This one, for example, is nice and uncluttered, but looks great.

Have NEVER worn a watch until this past April. Bought a Galaxy Active 2. I can't believe how much I love it.
Yeah, checking your phone is super rude to others, but glancing at your wrist is pretty normal. Plus you can check so many other things without being off putting.
