Poor man's watch thread - Page 97

@XKxRome0ox, I believe I got the strap at Target store. It's hit or miss with target since some stores don't carry watch straps.

@deveandepot1, The lug width is 18mm for straps, and the case diameter is pretty small 39mm w/ crown 36mm w/o crown. The watch is 9mm thick. I do like the size of this watch as it doesn't feel like a huge wrist weight.

 

bought this from the cladmen sale.  anyone have any experience with this brand?

This watch caught my eye in the Orvis catalog when it first came out. Kind of a Tag Heuer Monaco homage. Wouldn't buy at $249, but considering it now that it is being offered for just over $100. Thoughts?

not crazy about it t all.......
i asked myself..."self, where/when would i wear that?"

Been using this one for daily wear. I need to pick up a nice dress watch, though.

Saw this one online, sells for 249EUR, 40mm quartz. Anybody know anything regarding Junkers quality? Or is the name fitting?

I think the watches look great but I cant get past the name. Is it pronounced "Junkers"? or differently?

I believe the J is pronounced like a Y, like "yoonkers"

 

Thanks, very happy with it!

I'm actually looking for a watch in this price range($500-$600)

 

Does anyone have any good suggestions?

 

Junkers is German, therefore the J is pronounced as a Y, names after Hugo Junkers. Above is the Junkers Ju-88, which was a multi-role bomber for the German Luftwaffe in WW2.  He was a German Engineer that died in the mid 30's, and wasn't affiliated with the Nazi's in any way.

 

 

How do your pronounce "blucher?"

Agree. I was thinking I read the . point wrong.

I just picked up a new Orient Mako in orange. See what you think: 

 

 

 

@thevidon
How is that rubber strap on that mako?
