Poor man's watch thread

[ant702]

If you are comparing Sinn to Hamilton you are sadly mistaken. I would also take Stowa over Hamilton as well. Just because they use an ETA does not mean they are exactly the same.

I agree with that statement! Some do modify the movements and not just the rotor!

My new Marvin M120. Loving it.

That watch looks cool! Wher did you get it?

 

[ant702]

Put it towards a watch.

unfortunatley your right! I have one and its just taking up space; paid $120, what a waste of cash

 

[ant702]

are digital watches considered a crime? I mean this is the 21st century. I was thinking about getting a G shock for use while canoeing/working out/hiking/etc.

Definately not a crime I own several, but not the G, too bulky!

is there any maker out there (preferably those poor man -approved) who still makes pocket watch? I am curious- I know there are numerous vintage options on ebay but how about new ones?

pocket watches are still useful for symbolic gifts or for people allergic to leather/cloth/metal straps and/or generally averse to wearing a wrist strap...

Pretty thin. Seems strong enough right now but I've only had it on a day.

Thats easy! Charles -Hubert! I think the movements are China made though!

Opinion time: Picked this up cheap on e-bay the other day (hasn't arrived yet) and I'm brainstorming band ideas. I'm not going to actually buy one until I have it in my hands, but I'd like to hear some ideas. Right now, I'm thinking blue leather- I have a selection of more conservative watches, this one will be somewhat more fun, so keep that in mind.

What do people think of this, which is reduced to £164 on Amazon.co.uk (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mens-Watche...=sr_1_2?s=watch&ie=UTF8&qid=1358155346&sr=1-2):


Are Zeppelin Watches OK? Any idea on how the stopwatch would work, as there doesn't seem a pusher for it. There are two crowns as it is dual-time obviously.

Thanks
