Poor man's watch thread

[jayjules]



Thanks for the help y'all. Just bought the Khaki Field (first one), super pumped to get it in. I haven't tried the second one and probably wouldn't even have considered it - but I was inspired to get a Hamilton watch by the movie Interstellar and it's the closest thing you can get to Murph's watch right now, which I think looks great:

Looks nice! Is that the auto 38mm?

No, it was a special make just for the movie, not in production. Unfortunate, because I definitely would've bought it if it was for sale

Orient Ray Mod, "Monster Ray" after many months of waiting for parts from the factory. Changed the hands to Seiko Monster from Yobokies and got a domed acrylic crystal from Cousins UK.

Ah, the "Murph" (above) is a hybrid of the two posted earlier -- the crown & bezel match the top photo, but the hands & face (minus the date) match the bottom photo.

Hi, I am looking to purchase a Chronograph watch as a gift. I do however lack the knowledge to buy something nice. I can pay up to 200£. I was thinking of Tissot but some of their Chronograph watches have poor reviews. Any recommendation ?

@ Satmoche:
I have this watch, and it's one of my favorites: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1UMN4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Can't go wrong with a Seiko. They have many chronograph models to choose from.

Thank you very much ! I like the watch but I will probably change the strap.

new strap:

also, thinking about picking up a Seiko SNP107.

 

[westie187]

That's a great color strap. Nice pick-up. Where from may I ask?

was a gift from my brother (who is going to pick up that Tissot visodate from a few pages back):

Great looking watch, congratulations.

Is this "poor man" enough?

I have a mahogany Rios1931 Oxford band coming for the SEIKO SNKL07 and a custom strap from Martu leathers for the Casio MDV106.
