Poor man's watch thread

I see Lorier chrono uses the China made ST19, worth checking out, the last remaining affordable mechanical chrono movement, a clone of Venus 175, column wheel to boot.

Looks nice. Chronos aren't my thing, but if they were I imagine I'd just say hell with it and go quartz.

This is the third piece of my latest splurge. Axios flagship, part of the Zelos group (I believe). Very pleased with the watch and the first class service. Free DHL 3 day delivery. I also got the matching stingray strap. Lets see how long I can last before my next fall from the wagon....

I just discovered Zelos, which I like what I'm reading. Picked up a 3000m bronze hunk from them.

I really like that stingray strap! I almost bought one - as soon as I figure out what colors work for me, I'll nab one.

My Lorier Falcon. Lovely dial!

Zelos has a very similar watch. $100 more. I was torn between the two.

Two more watches. Thanks to this thread I have bought a watch repair kit and saved over $200 in battery changes.

The Michael Kors watch was a gift from my wife for our 2nd wedding anniversary (8 years ago) and therefore a sentimental piece. It's engraved on the watch back.

Vincero is probably the 2nd watch I've ever purchased for myself. I like the IWC Portuguese vibes. Currently eye-ing a Parnis Automatic. After a battery change it was good to go.

I miss my blue Scuba Dude but man that thing was janky. I spent twice as much as what the watch cost on a solid 316L bracelet, then the damn hands fell off and I decided not to throw any more money at it.

How's it holding up? My Prospex started losing time again and a hard smack is no longer correcting it so I'm having it regulated this weekend.

I hope the hands don't fall off. The stem sure is wobbly, though, but it was $50, so what should I expect?

I found a vintage band for this Perfex Airvac 400. Total cost: $9.50. Not too terrible.
