Poor man's watch thread

[Jazzmenco]

I love these dial textures. I'm so tempted to drop the money on one of these.

You made me curious so I looked up the order, it cost $599. Great watch for the money. There are a lot of different color variations still available.
The model number is Armand Nicolet M02 9140A2-GR-P140MR2 Men's Watch

Seiko Speedmaster or Seiko Daytona?

So I've been watching a lot of Peaky Blinders and want to get an inexpensive pocketwatch. Any thoughts on whether a silver or gold coloured pocketwatch matches better with gray, brown, and blue suits?

I'm eyeing the white dial version so hard. The colour of sundials is playing mind games with me though. Are they black or dark blue? For what it's worth, I don't think it's a Daytona knock-off.

Should be black, but it's the solar cell so it looks funny.

So this one finally arrived today. I bought in on the “plank owner” pre-order in February 2020. I know MKII gets a lot of hate for their long lead times, but this is pretty spectacular and I’m always really happy with their quality and fit and finish.

Side by side with my MKII Sting Ray:

I missed the pre-order and initial shipments, but I love this watch. They hit it out of the park as far as I am concerned with the design. Going to try and kop one down the line.

Def gold with a brown suit. Grey and blue though...guess depends on your shoes and belt.

I put my Oris BCPD on the bracelet and although I wasn't sold on it at first, I quite like it:

That bracelet's definitely better than a strap.

Looks great!

Thanks, guys. I'm glad I got the bracelet but straps can look pretty good as well: The bracelet is really 'set and forget', though.

FWIW, I haven't worn any other watch (except my Garmin that I wear to run each morning) than the MKII TR since it arrived a month+ ago. That's the longest I've gone with a single watch in a very long time. It's actually inspired me to sell off a few of my other "never gonna sell" watches (so long Halios Puck and Sinn U1) and made me consider selling off a bunch of my other MKII watches.
