Poor man's watch thread

[Kai]

I have an Orient watch. (one of their world time automatics.) I really like it. Well made, with excellent attention to detail. These are high quality watches at excellent price points.

What do you guys think of Orient? There's a 50% off code that makes this one $107.5:



It's here:

The thing with parnis watches do they look and feel cheap?

 

[Sander]

Look - no; feel - to an extent, but still more than you would expect for the money.

BUT they sound really cheap - the movement is rather loud and the rotor is even louder. I was also tempted by the nice look, but I think there's a big chance you will not have fun with them.

Just FYI, orient pretty much has never ending 50% off codes. While they are a good price, just don't think it's a limited time deal that you have to jump on.

Its only $50 so I suppose I should take my chances.

Hey can you guys tell me if this watch is worth it?



http://www.manbushijie.com/productshow-645-17.html

Its on sale for $50. 


Edit:
There is this one as well.

For $50, you can't lose if you like the blue and white style. Go for it.
Don't listen to the people here who claim it broke.
They're just trying to justify spending more on their other watches
I have a $10 watch that has been running for years.
Go for it.

I'm beginning to understand why everyone hates reevolving. What a stupid answer.

Got asked by a couple of work colleagues (both older and more senior) what type of watch I was wearing, while rocking the white face/blue hand Parnis (with original black strap). I said it is not a very well known brand but that I really like it. One of them asked "how much did it cost? It looks like a $2000 watch." Caught me off guard, didn't want to lie and inflate the value and i'm not the kind of guy to forget the approx amount something cost, so I said $70. They were both shocked.

Wish I had said it was a gift or something.

You should have said "Sir, It's a blatant rip-off of an iconic IWC design."
