Poor man's watch thread

[Jazzmenco]

Well, I certainly regret browsing this thread. I just went down a 30 minute rabbit hole of "SWMBO would kill me if I bought one of those Sinns but DAMN that looks good!"

Had to look up SWMBO... I know that situation well - shoes and watches...

Looking good. I saw these a while back but they had completely sold out.

Does anyone have a reasonably priced recommendation for a watch similar to a Patek 5022?

My first suggestion would be something like the Seiko Presage SARW025 but after looking at it a little closer, it has a calendar subdial instead of the small seconds subdial, plus it's a bit larger than the Patek.

thanks, thats pretty close though! definitely on the right track! is there a name for that style of numbering?

Timex just released a Miyota version of their Navi XL and I have to say I really like the looks of it. I've been wanting a green dial and was planning on getting a Spinnaker but I think I'll get this instead. I'd have preferred a NH35 but at the price it's not bad. $259 and 15% off from timex.com.

KILLER!

Thanks Roger, I think half the reason I take these jobs is so I can wear "my stuff", plus some extra money for the holidays isn't bad.....but no more watches....

I have to run out to the job site today, we are designing a bio-fuels project, adding used cooking oil to diesel fuel.
