Poor man's watch thread

^exactly...hope there is a less expensive alternative

Try Archimede or Laco.

got my black mako that I bought with part of my super bowl squares winnings.

It's gonna take some getting used to the metal band...I've got the right number of links but I might need to move the spring bar adjustment again...not sure if I want it a little tighter or a little looser.

That seems like a sign that it fits about right, haha.

Ah ha, you may be onto something here. I have several watches so I dont wear this one every day. Maybe I need to move it to keep it going? If so that kind of sucks...

Lolwut?

It's a bloody automatic mate, of course you need to "move it to keep it going."

Buy Vintage if you are on a budget and they hold their value well and almost always gets a compliment or two. Seamaster vintage from 1954 goes for about $500-600 SS.

What do you guys recommend for a good value solid stainless steel 22mm bracelet?

 

[TuckerSon]

Which watch do you guys recommend me to add to my watch collection (up to $300)?
I currently have these two watches:

The Casio is usually worn casual while the Lorus is worn business casual / formal. (Only difference with the picture is that the leather band is black on my watch)

How about an elegant stainless steel watch, for formal suiting? Or a chronograph, so you can be sporty and casual

Maratac Mid-Pilot on Horween Cordovan NATO strap:



Crap photo, but a nice watch.

Can anyone recommend a poor man's watch winder? Anything out there in the $20 range? (Seems stupid to buy a $40-50 watch winder for a $90 Mako...)

 

[WhoKnewI]

not a poor man's watch, but not a rich man's watch either.

FC slimline.

Recent Ebay pick up for a great price. Not sure if I'm going to hang onto it or not though. 18mm lug size doesn't work too well with my band collection, haha. [

Nice watch!
