Poor man's watch thread

[dstunbound]

Got my Orient Planet Orient off WUS. Couldn't be stoked-er !

Really like the looks of that, now where to find one....

I'm trying to decide on a sea-gull watch and need some input.
I have skinny wrists and looking for something proportional.

m177s:



or

m186s:

I like the second one, although the first one is a little more versatile. Steel or NATO band to make it casual, leather to make it dressy.

thats exactly why i am stuck in the middle lol. I too like the first for versatility but the 2nd one is
very timeless.

for the 2nd is it too classic looking to be dressed up or down?

The first one. It would make a good beater that can be dressed up.

Plus the crown on the second one just doesn't look right to me. Belongs on an aviator.

I really like the m186. How much does it cost?

I would go for the other M186S.

I think $120. Check eBay

I would go for the other M186S.

Would that be a better option to be dressed up n down?

I like the roman 186 with the guilloche dial as well. OP, I have a 182SK skeleton which is in the same case. I have a 6½" wrist, and it looks fine. Awesome, in fact.

I have 7" wrists, thanks for confirming the size of watch would work for me.
- since you and christianb have pointed out the roman 186, it is starting to grow on me.
- do you think the roman 186 is easily dressed up or down?

I'm no guru in watches at all, but with that band I would use it with anything from t-shirts to a suit. I'm not saying it is the correct way to wear it with regards to the formality of the watch, but I love the look of that watch-band combo.

The onion crown generally looks dressier, so I'm not sure the 186 will dress down.

Y'know, 99.9% of people will never see that, or make any distinction. It's a steampunk case, especially with the faux screws in the lugs, so we may make of that what we may. To me, the roman 186 is a fairly dressy piece; not because of the crown, but the roman dial and the guilloche face. I would wear that b!tch with jeans and tennybops. It's byootiful.
